Abstract :
This study examines the utility of mobile learning mode and information ability indicator for bridging the digital divide in countrified area based on technology acceptance model (TAM). Using the TAM as a research fram work, 247 learners from urban or countrified area responsed to an 4-item questionnaires containing six constructs. Canonical correlation, One-way ANOVA was employed as the main method of analysis in this study. This study aims to investigate the effects of information ability indicator and mobile learning mode on the TAM of learners within the context of digital divede area. the experimental results show that those learners who own better information ability indicator presented a significant effect in their technology acceptance level. Also, matching the learning style of learners with the appropriate mobile learning mode shows significant effects on learning in a countrified area.
