Abstract

Resource-constrained nations face educational challenges, like poor technological infrastructure and disruptions in learning, which became evident during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the deep penetration of mobile technology in these regions, this research proposes mobile learning, particularly mobile computer supported collaborative learning (mCSCL), as a viable solution for continued education in the face of disruptions. Through a scoping review and a multimethods approach, this research examined the adoption of mCSCL in resource-constrained nations, investigating the case study of a higher education institution in Nigeria. Key findings reveal that mobility and some characteristics of collaboration positively influenced students' acceptance of mCSCL. Additionally, themes derived from open-ended responses and WhatsApp interactions highlighted flexibility in learning and multimodal communication mode as some of their reasons for continuing with mCSCL.
