Students' Learning Performance through M-Learning Integration in Engineering Courses

The integration of mobile learning with learning management systems can revolutionize engineering education by offering more adaptable and engaging learning experiences. This research implemented personalized online activities via a Moodle mobile application in two undergraduate engineering courses. The key elements included additional video lectures, practice questions with immediate feedback, and self-assessment quizzes, all emphasizing self-directed learning. The effect on student performance and perceptions was assessed through grade analysis and end-of-course surveys. The implementation resulted in significant enhancements in student achievement and course learning outcomes. The percentage of students achieving higher grades rose by 15-30% between course offerings, with particularly substantial gains at the A grade level. The achievement of specific learning outcomes improved by 13 to 26%. Surveys revealed robust participation in mobile app-enabled activities and increased motivation throughout the semester. Students appreciated the systematic course structure and interactive learning features. Despite technological infrastructure limitations, these findings highlight the potential of mobile learning to boost student success in engineering courses by providing accessible, engaging content. This research offers guidance on best practices for learning management system design to maximize the benefits of mobile technology for the evolving paradigms of engineering education.
