University students increasingly use mobile devices in their studies, while during the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile technology supported learning was applied by many students. Exploring students' mobile technology perceptions is an ongoing research issue. This pilot study aimed to explore postgraduate students' perspectives on the benefits and learning possibilities of mobile devices' usage in their studies. In total, 34 Greek postgraduate students participated, and they answered an online questionnaire. The students expressed positive, strong perceptions, indicating their awareness of mobile technology learning possibilities and educational benefits for their studies. Almost all students (94.1%) agreed that mobile technology should be used to connect postgraduate students with people, content, and resources, and that mobile devices bring new learning opportunities in a postgraduate programme. Isolated significant differences were observed with regard to age and postgraduate mode of study (more positive views were expressed for blended mode in comparison to face-to-face mode). Implications for tutors, educational practices, and university policies are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
