Analysis on Mobile Learning by Using Smart Phones among Chinese University Students

Abstract:

Mobile learning based on smart phones has become a hot topic in research.In this paper, questionnaires and interviews were applied to survey the state of Chinese university students' mobile learning by using smart phones, and 360 students from 5 universities in Wuhan were chose as samples.The research discovers that the students' level of understanding about mobile learning is still low.Even though most of them possess smart phones with Android system, they seldom use smart phones to learn their major in after-class time.To improve the performance of mobile learning by using smart phones,the R&D of smart phones should be strengthened, more abundant learning APP should be developed and the coverage of wifi should be widened.
