摘要：There is growing demand for online learning activities that offer fle10.14742/ajet.ibility for students to study anywhere, anytime, as online students fit study around work and family commitments. We designed a series of online activities and evaluated how, where and with what devices students used the activities, as well as their levels of engagement and deep learning with the activities. A mi10.14742/ajet.ed-methods design was used to e10.14742/ajet.plore students’ interactions with the online activities. This method integrated learning analytics data with responses from 63 survey respondents, nine interviews and 16 focus group participants. We found that students used a combination of mobile devices to access the online learning activities across a variety of locations during opportunistic study sessions in order to fit study into their daily routines. The online activities were perceived positively, facilitating affective, cognitive, and behavioural engagement as well as stimulating deep learning. Activities that were authentic, promoted problem-solving, applied theory to real-life scenarios and increased students’ feelings of being supported were perceived as most beneficial to learning. These findings have implications for the future design of online activities, where activities need to accommodate students’ need for fle10.14742/ajet.ibility as students’ study habits become more mobile.
