Accessibility Learning Tools and Portability toward the Effectiveness of the Use of iPad Among University Students

Abstract

Rapid changes in technology have affected many industries. Education industry is also affected in which ways of teaching and learning change rapidly simultaneously with changes in students’ demographics. However, the use of technology in education especially in using portable learning devices is still not at large. Thus, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of use of iPad among university students. Through the simple random sampling 338 samples from 2800 students were chosen to answer a structured questionnaire. Statistical tests were employed to analyse the data collected. The results indicate that learning tools and portability are significantly correlated toward effective learning. This study significantly contributes in providing knowledge on the use of technology in teaching and learning.
