    Abstract

    The Big Five Personality traits are considered by some psychologists to well describe human personality. The five traits or factors are openness, conscientiousness, extraversión, agreeableness, and emotional-stability. It appears highly plausible that human personality affects preferences for learning, and that this will be modified depending on context and cultures. In this paper we investigate mobile learning (m-learning) in two cultures (Australian and Saudi), and in two dimensional context model we have constructed. Our two dimensions are physical space and social space. We show that two factors (emotional-stability and agreeableness) of Big 5 as measured do affect m-learning preferences, and that these preferences are local to specific contexts as well as occasionally spanning contexts.
