Science and Information Conference is an annual convention hosted by The Science and Information Organization. SAI Conference 2014 took place in London, UK from August 27-29, 2014. The conference brings together a community of researchers from many fields to collaborate together to create lasting change. It had about 200 attendees from over 50 countries. SAI Conference is dedicated to providing a free and open atmosphere where attendees talk and engage in creative ways.

Paper Title: Mobile Learning-system usage: An integrated framework to measure students’ behavioural intention Authors: Saleh Alharbi, Steve Drew (Griffith University, Australia) Abstract: Mobile technologies have changed the shape of learning for learners, society, and education providers. Consequently, mobile learning has become a core component in modern education. Nevertheless, introducing mobile learning systems does not automatically guarantee that learners will develop a positive behavioural intention to use it and therefore use it. Thus, acceptance-of-technology and system-success studies have increased. As yet, however, much of the research regarding understanding students’ behavioural intention to use mobile learning systems seems to suffer from several shortcomings. On top of that, there is no common cognitive theoretical foundation. This study introduces a theoretical framework that combines the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and information system (IS) success model. This integration resulted in three success measures and two acceptance constructs. The success measures included the following: a) information quality, b) system quality, and c) user satisfaction; whilst the following were the acceptance measures: a) effort expectancy, b) performance expectancy, and c) social influence. Further, this study introduces lecture attitude as a new construct that is believed to moderate students’ behavioural intention. The relationships between the different factors form the research hypotheses. Direct link to the Paper will be available soon.
