Open-access M-LEARNING ADOPTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE PROFESSOR'S POINT OF VIEW

This research aim is to investigate the perceptions of professors in higher education settings regarding m-learning and identifying possible enablers and barriers to its adoption. Roger's diffusion of innovations theory is the basis for the content analysis of 12 interviews. Results indicate that while professors recognize m-learning definitions they seem to lack familiarity with the innovation, thus making its adoption for daily teaching activities more difficult.
