Predicting the Behavioral Intention (BI) of one Private Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the Philippines to use M-Learning

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused dramatic challenges in our education system. In the Philippines, online learning through desktop computers and mobile devices became a struggle as not all schools were prepared to implement full online learning in one day. While most students do not have desktop computers, relying on a Learning Management System (LMS) installed on mobile devices became the face of online learning - Mobile learning. As schools continue to adopt M-learning during this covid19 pandemic, research endeavors become a powerful tool in providing answers and solutions that hamper effective and efficient online learning implementation. While one study in the Philippines indicated the readiness of both faculty members and students in online learning, the study extends the research by exploring the predictors that lead to the Behavioral Intention (BI) of faculty members and students to use Mobile Learning in one private Higher Educational Institution (HEI). Results have shown that Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) are important predictors to the Behavioral Intention to use Mobile Learning for Students. For the faculty members, Posibilities and Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) had the highest influence to the Behavioral Intention (BI) to use Mobile Learning. Other results and recommendations are presented in the study.
