With mobile technologies outpacing desktop computers this may be the ideal time for Zimbabwe universities to tap into m-learning.There is little research on m-learning implementation and adoption on a large scale in Zimbabwe universities. This study attempts to determine the feasibility of implementing m-learning in Zimbabwe by initially investigating students' readiness for m-learning. A qualitative approach was employed by conducting focus group discussions with 20 university students. The study shows that some students are ready for m-learning based on their exposure to m-learning and opportunities of increased engagement. To further confirm the findings of the focus group discussions a survey with a large cohort of students to establish students' readiness for m-learning in Zimbabwe universities should be conducted. With mobile technologies becoming more pervasive, this paper adds to the field of HCI as it discusses how students utilise mobile technologies to extend their learning. The paper is presented at MobileHCI 2020 Doctoral Consortium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
