Abstract

The revolution in mobile devices and wireless networks has transferred E-learning to mobile learning (M-learning). Delivering learning materials (podcasting) to mobile learners is a challenging task due to the variability of mobile learner contexts. This paper presents a novel method of considering mobile learners’ preferences of podcast types in different contexts, utilizing learning preferences and personality. The survey has been collected from 345 students from Australia and Saudi Arabia. Unlike previous studies, this paper deals with all podcast types. Two dimensions have been included in context namely: physical space and social space. This has been followed by determining big five personality traits and learning preferences to determine how to personalize mobile learners’ podcast usage preferences.
