Abstract

The Mobile Learning Just-in-Time Cognitive Support Software Application Systems research study was conducted in three fully online graduate courses. Multiple rounds of data analytic activity includes; mobile app downloads, app visits, time in app, application time on task, and frequently used application tabs (n=78). A second round of collection included volunteer graduate student participant post m-Learning survey instrument feedback (n=38). Data was collected utilizing open ended responses while also including application analytics data to help serve to triangulate participant responses and time on task utilizing the mobile app, while tracking what learning content was selected within the application framework. The results of this research may help to shed light on the functionalities of m-Learning in the modern-day online classroom, it's effectiveness as a learning medium, and how student learners respond to the prospect of anywhere anytime access with their course content, available to them almost instantaneously via a mobile application framework. According to the app analytics and participant respondents survey feedback, m-Learning was perceived as a beneficial help seeking mechanism, providing an add-on access point to the online learning environment, with enhanced ease of use through accessibility of course content, and as a facilitation medium for anywhere, anytime learning.
