摘要
This study investigated the perception of undergraduates on the adoption of mobile technologies for learning. The respondents included 182 randomly selected undergraduates from three universities in Kwara State. The data collected through a researcher-designed questionnaire were analyzed using percentages, means, standard deviation and the t-test statistics. The results revealed among others that no significant difference existed in the undergraduates' perception on the adoption of mobile technologies for learning based on gender. It was recommended that stakeholders in the education sector should encourage undergraduates by procuring, providing or subsidizing mobile technologies that can be adopted for learning.
