Abstract:
Location-based privacy in mobile learning is
essential to retain users’ trust, key to influencing usage
intention. Any risk on privacy can negatively affect users’
perceptions of a system’s reliability and trustworthiness. While
extant studies have proposed frameworks for mobile
technologies adoption into learning, few have integrated
privacy aspects and their influence on m-learning
implementation. The aim of this research is to study mlearning
literature in order to propose and develop a privacypreserving
framework which can be used to foster sustainable
deployment of m-learning within open and distance education
in Kenya. The framework would provide University educators
with planned approach to incorporate privacy preserving
techniques in m-learning implementation. Also, it could
provide informed guidance to mobile learning application
developers on the need to cater for learners’ privacy aspects.
