A Review of Decades of the Opportunities and Challenges for Digital Mobile E-Learning in Taiwan

Abstract

This study examines the current status of digital mobile e-learning in Taiwan using a literature review. Taiwan’s digital mobile e-learning implementation plan is divided into two plans: the first targets high schools and higher vocational education, while the second targets elementary and junior high schools. Previous research shows that digital mobile e-learning can improve school efficiency and promote teaching innovation in Taiwanese high schools. Factors, such as school size, teacher-student ratio, number of tablet PCs, technical teacher ratio, total equipment expenses, and various school attributes are essential in influencing schools’ willingness to adopt digital mobile e-learning. Public schools have better operational efficiency than private schools, possibly because of the funding provided for accessory equipment. Therefore, public high schools may be better equipped to promote mobile e-learning environments and improve both teaching quality and operational efficiency.
