Analysis on Learning Efficiency in the Context of Mobile e-Learning

Abstract

Mobile internet is now rapidly developing, it expands traditional Internet and benefits people's life in every aspect, including e-learning. With mobile e-learning, a learner can get online courses not only stick to a PC but could also be on a toilet, in a bed, or everywhere. This paper abstracted those ways out into 3 basic situations, combined with learning time periods to learning situations, then proposed a model to illustrate how the learning situations affects learning performance and introduced a method of iterative regression to evaluate the learning efficiencies of each situation with the learning data of 200 subject learners recorded in the Sophia Learning Management System (SLMS). The results demonstrate that different learning situations have unequal learning efficiencies, learning with a PC has higher learning efficiency, and sitting learning with a mobile also has a little higher rate than lying. Different courses have different learning efficiencies. It's helpful to compare learning efficiencies among courses so that learners could get recommendations of scheduling efficient learning.
