Abstract

This study investigated the influence of a mobile learning (M-Learning) application on the learning outcomes of university students. The learning outcomes were assessed in terms of secured score in the Communication Skills course using the App for the period of one semester. The M-Learning App was developed for university students to make learning possible from anywhere, at anytime, and through any smartphone. An experiment was conducted to measure the learning outcomes of the students. In each group (experimental and control), 106 students were randomly selected using SPSS random sample cases. The learning outcomes were measured by means of a standard test designed by three course experts. Both groups took the test at the start of the semester; the results were recorded as pre-test. However, both groups undertook the same test again at the end of the semester as a post-test; this time the questions were shuffled. The results of the experiment revealed that there is statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in their post-test results. The experimental group secured higher score in the post-test as compared to the control group. The findings of this study suggest that the App has positive influence on the learning outcomes of the students.
