Instructional Design in Modern Environments: Pertinent Mobile Learning Content Quality Features

Abstract

This study highlights the most pertinent m-learning content quality features that should be considered by designers from the point of view of experts to determine students’ perceptions about suggested quality features and to measure any statistically significant differences in students’ perceptions due to their gender and technological skills. An exploratory sequential mixed research method was employed. A group of 20 experts in m-learning answered an open-ended question for the qualitative part, and a questionnaire with 31 items was answered by a purposeful sample of 200 students out of the entire population of 312 from seven Jordanian universities. The results revealed a list of content quality features. The overall perception of students was high with a mean of 4.15 and no statistically significant differences in students’ perceptions due to their gender and technological skills. The study recommended studying the effectiveness of m-learning content features in Jordanian higher education institutions.
