Abstract

Mobile learning has increasingly become interwoven into the fabric of learning and teaching in the UK higher education sector and as technological issues become addressed this phenomena has accelerated. The aim of the study was to examine whether learning using a mobile learning device (Samsung NC10 Notebook) loaded with interactive exercises promoted learning when compared with a traditional library exercise. Using a randomised trial, fifty-five students from an undergraduate sports science course (n = 28) and medical course (n = 27) volunteered to participate in the study. A mixed model design ANOVA was used to examine the percentage change in test score following a three week interventions. Results showed that there was a significant difference between the two courses (p < .001), methods (p = .01) and trials (p < .001). The findings suggested that both methods augmented student knowledge and understanding in the sports science and medical students. Interestingly though, the sports science group demonstrated proportionally greater increases in test performance when exposed to the interactive mobile learning intervention (NC10 notebook), compared with the traditional library approach. The study concluded that mobile learning can significantly enhance knowledge and understanding in students. Further research should ensure participants are assessed for preferred learning styles, subjective task value of expectancy-value and readiness for m-learning to ascertain if this has an effect on the potential for using mobile learning and interactivity.
