Faculty use and perception of mobile information and communication technology (m-ICT) for teaching practices

What is it about?

The purpose of this study was to consider faculty use and perception of mobile information and communication technology (m-ICT) for teaching practices. The researchers examined qualitative responses about specific m-ICT use and efficiency amongst Korean and US faculty (n = 59) at three different institutions. Findings from multi-level textual analyses showed faculty in both countries utilised m-ICTs for content delivery and student support; however, there were some notable differences with regard to instructor-guided content and faculty–student communication. Results suggest the need for future research linking the technology use and social interaction components to pedagogy to promote effective m-ICT use.
