Readiness and Success of Ubiquitous Learning in Indonesia: Perspectives from the Implementation of a Pilot Project

The implementation of ubiquitous learning (u-learning) is a good opportunity to address the affordability, accessibility, and quality issues of the higher education sector that are present in many countries. However, its broad application is still limited within the instructionist paradigm. Improving its implementation performance is a challenge for researchers and practitioners. This study aimed to understand the readiness and success status of u-learning implementation in Indonesia and to assess factors influencing the status based on stakeholder perspectives. A mixed methods inquiry with the sequential nested strategy was carried out by focusing on a quantitative analysis. The findings revealed that the readiness constructs influence u-learning performance. The study may contribute, theoretically and practically, to future studies, especially u-learning implementation studies, from the perspective of a developing country.
