Mobile Technology – An Innovative Instructional Design Model in Distance Education

Abstract

This research aims to introduce and examine the innovative instructional design model with Mobile Technology for undergraduates of School of Liberal Arts at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University. Furthermore, it will evaluate the innovative instructional design model with Mobile Technology accordingly. The participants in the project comprised 30 undergraduates from the Information Science program, Thai Studies program, and English program who took the Science, Technology and Environment for Life course. They were selected through the cluster sampling technique. The research instruments comprised the innovative instructional design model, evaluation forms and the pre- and post- achievement tests. Included as well was the questionnaire on undergraduates’ opinions towards the model. The data analysis used the mean, the standard deviation, and the t-test. In addition, the model contains distance learning lessons which have been developed by Mobile Technology, and have passed educational quality assurance measures. It has been categorized regarding content, educational technology, and assessment by experts in content, educational technology, and assessment. The innovative instructional design with Mobile Technology has also been rated as “most appropriate” by five experts in the areas of distance education, mobile technology, educational technology, assessment, and content. The undergraduates learning from the innovative instructional design model showed significant achievement at the .05 level and their satisfaction was rated at the “high satisfaction” level. This paper reports the research findings regarding selected elements of the innovative instructional design model. It comprises the input, the process, the output and the feedback. There are nine steps to the innovative instructional design model with Mobile Technology.

The Application of Mobile Technology in Educational Administration to Foster Continuous Learning and Professional Development

“…With the rapid development and popularization of information technology, mobile technology is becoming an important tool in the field of educational management, providing new possibilities for continuous learning and professional development [1][2][3]. Under traditional educational models, learning is often limited by time and space constraints, whereas the prevalence of mobile technology offers learners more flexible and convenient learning pathways, allowing learning to break free from fixed educational environments and schedules [4][5][6][7].…”

Effectiveness of Android-Based Mobile Learning in Graphic Design Course for Digital Learning: The Development Research Study

“…In today's digital age, android-based mobile devices have become an integral part of everyday life [1,2] revolutionizing the way we communicate, work, and learn [3]. With the increasing popularity and widespread use of mobile technology, it is imperative for educational institutions to harness the potential of these devices as powerful tools to enrich their learning experience [4][5][6]. Mobile learning platforms offer exciting opportunities to engage students in self-directed learning as a basis for improving learning outcomes and increasing learning motivation [7,8] in the context of android-based mobile learning for graphic design.…”

Application Mobile-Based Augmented Reality for Endemic Animals of Central Kalimantan

“…Because of this, researchers want to create an application that can introduce endangered endemic animals of Central Kalimantan, using markerless-based augmented reality technology in the application. Users efficiently operate the application using only the smartphone camera (Sakulwichitsintu, 2023). The availability of unique markers will help users operate this application, which will then display data on the animals' characteristics and-dimensional (3D) images (Indarti & Laraswati, 2020).…”
