Smart Learning Solutions for Combating COVID-19
Published in Mohamed Lahby, Utku Kose, Akash Kumar Bhoi, Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Smart Cities, 2021
Mobile learning is also referred to as M-Learning. It is the learning which takes place with the help of electronically portable devices, which can be a mobile, smartphone, handheld computer, laptops, palmtops, etc. It is not confined to any particular space. It provides the convenience of anywhere and anytime learning. In addition to this mentors can also provide them on the spot guidance, support, and feedback with the help of their mobile phone. Mentees and mentors can also work collaboratively online with the help of various apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc. using their electronic mobile devices. Mobile learning focuses on the mobility of the learner (Mehdipour & Zerehkafi, 2013). With the help of these mobile devices multiple types of data i.e. text, audio, video can be delivered but there are certain issues like the disruption of students’ personal and academic lives (Masters & Ng’ambi, 2007), risk of distraction (Crescente & Lee, 2011), network and battery issues, etc.
Artificial Intelligence-Based Ubiquitous Smart Learning Educational Environments
Published in P. Kaliraj, T. Devi, Artificial Intelligence Theory, Models, and Applications, 2021
The innovation and applications of new technologies have taken the educational institutions into a new dimension. Usage of technologies in teaching and learning is inevitable and the institutions not opting for technologies are out of the box in the present context. The educational institutions need to develop a smart learning environment so that the students can study in any place at any time. Ubiquitous computing is a new technology that utilizes a large number of cooperative small nodes with computing and/or communication capabilities such as handheld terminals, smart mobile phones, and sensor network nodes, etc. (Sakamura and Koshizuka, 2005). Initial research was carried out in e-learning. From e-learning, the researchers have moved to m-learning. m-learning enables learners to use mobile devices. With the advent of smartphones, a new era of learning, namely smart learning, is introduced. Ubiquitous learning in the latest version of smart learning allows the learners to connect to the content server at any time from any place by using smart devices. The shift in the e-learning paradigm is presented in Figure 11.1.

The growth of wireless communication technology and the reach of advanced mobile devices to every part of society has helped m-learning to emerge. The concept of m-learning supports and adds facilities to the concept of elearning. The m-learning concept adds more flexibility in terms of location, cost of hardware, time and ease of use. After this, educational advancement coined a new term, ubiquitous learning (u-Learning) (Lee et al. 2012). Figure 6.1 shows the paradigm shift of advance learning environments. The u-learning educational environment allows learners to learn at their convenience. u-Learning removes constraints of time, place and environment as the content can be accessed at anytime from anywhere through diverse terminals. The digital revolution is providing the opportunity to use powerful handheld digital devices connected with other resources through a wireless network for educators to explore and exploit u-Learning.

On the other hand, the aforementioned approaches have been widely used TAM and SEM via Mobile learning (M-learning) applications in supporting educational processes (Almaiah, Al-Khasawneh, et al., 2021; Almaiah, Al-Otaibi, et al., 2022; Almaiah, Ayouni, et al., 2022; Althunibat et al., 2021). The results represented that the relationship between M-learning and IT infrastructure is positively accepted. Almaiah et al. argued that the M-learning application offers the mobility and flexibility benefits as a novel idea in contemporary education and an e-learning extension. Moreover, the authors hope that the M-learning will be suitable value to support the learning processes (Almaiah, Hajjej, Lutfi, Al-Khasawneh, Alkhdour, et al., 2022). Moreover, Almaiah et al. introduced a new model to identify the crucial factors that influence students’ adopt the platform of mobile learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors employed the modeling technique of ANN and SEM to analyze the fundamental relationship among paradigms in the model of research. The experimental result indicated that the mobile learning platform is important to conduct the processes of learning and teaching (Almaiah, Al-Lozi, et al., 2021).
What drives students to adopt m-learning apps? The role of e-WOM in signalling theory perspective
Published in Behaviour & Information Technology, 2022
Smartphones have significantly changed the means of disseminating or exchanging information among people (Zhang, Wang, and Duan 2016). Importantly, it has also transformed learning behaviours (Thompson 2016). As a digital technology in learning, smartphones have changed the entire learning environment in higher education, as students are now more engaged in personalised learning activities (He et al. 2021). Moreover, smartphone usage has seen significant growth (Shankar, Jebarajakirthy, and Ashaduzzaman 2020) in recent times. According to Statista (2020), the world market for e-learning was 101 billion US dollars in the year 2019 and is expected to reach 370 billion US dollars by the year 2026. In the year 2021, about 470 learning apps have been downloaded on iOS and 466 apps on Android platforms (Statista 2021). In India, the usage of mobile phones and internet subscriptions has increased (Shankar, Jebarajakirthy, and Ashaduzzaman 2020) with 60 million Indians having an access to the internet (Kaliisa, Palmer, and Miller 2019). Surprisingly, m-learning app adoption has also increased in the country (Mathivanan et al. 2021). M-learning is the learning opportunity available on mobile phones, especially smartphones (Zaidi et al. 2021). Both internet learning (El-Sofany et al. 2014) and m-learning have proved to be very successful in improving students’ performance and learning (Klimova 2019).

Researchers have been working since last few decades to utilize the advanced technologies for creation of improved teaching-learning environment. Traditional chalkboard classrooms have been replaced in many places by well-equipped modern classrooms having projector screen, smartboard, digital textbook, camera, audio amplifier, and many other high-tech gadgets. With the advancement of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), a modern concept of learning environment called e-learning is progressing fast. Nowadays, a new area called “m-learning” (stands for “mobile-learning”) has become popular because of the use of the mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, for the learning purpose. Recently, ICT is being blended into the classical face-to-face classroom environment for achieving the benefits of both. This type of classrooms is termed as “blended learning environment” (Nortvig et al., 2018; Tikadar et al., 2018).
