Improving Education Delivery in a Technical University in Ghana Through Mobile Learning Technology
Although in Accra Technical University (ATU), Ghana there exists a traditional face-to-face (F2F) mode of education already in place, the implementation of mobile learning (m-learning) through ICT in education will solve problems such as small classroom size, inappropriate time schedule for lectures, and provision technological resources needed to run successful classroom education. In order to validate successful implementation of m-learning in ATU, this paper employed a questionnaire research instrument with reference to the technology acceptance model (TAM-2) as a theoretical framework. Closed-ended questionnaires were administered to a sample size of 160 students and 15 lecturers in the Faculty of Applied Sciences (FAS) in ATU. Based on the responses received, the authors established positive technological acceptance of respondents, which paved the way to propose and develop a suitable m-learning system for ATU. It is envisaged that successful implementation of the m-learning system proposed in this paper will practically increase the use of ICT in education by both lecturers and students in ATU.
