5. 6/22/2016 4 Is M-learning Really Better? 1) Is student’ connecting time (study) increased? 2) Is students’ collaborating time increased? 3) Does it improved student’s learning outcome? In-depth understanding of the concepts?

6. 6/22/2016 5 Comparative Study Experimental Group (PC and Mobile phone accessible) and Control Group (PC accessible only) Survey, Daily and weekly Time log, are used.
