E-Learning as a Supplementary Learning Method
Journal Title: International Journal of the Computer, the Internet and Management - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to explore whether E-learning could be a supplementary or substitute learning method. The paper examines M-Learning as one E-Learning approach. By verifying whether M-Learning is a substitute or supplementary learning method, this paper would provide a practical policy guideline for stakeholders in higher education. This research employed quantitative method where discrete and continuous probabilities were used for hypothesis testing. The proposed model consists of three independent variables, namely frequency of use of mobile devices (X1), application types (X2), and anticipated benefits (X3). We tested two dependent variables, namely M-learning as a substitute (Y1) and as a supplementary method (Y2). The methodology employed in this paper is unique because we simultaneously tested two proposed models. The data came from 112 surveys of undergraduate students studying Business English and Marketing at a private university in Thailand. The findings show that M-Learning could not operate as a stand-alone unit or independent learning module. Empirical testing shows that T < 1.64 and ANOVA for both proposed model were F(111,111) = 26.71 compared to the theoretical value of 1.35. This paper offers practical insight into M-Learning by identifying key factors that institutions of higher learning must consider in E-Learning policy.
