Students in a new medical school were provided with laptops.
This study explored the feasibility and educational benefits of mobile learning for two cohorts of students learning in two settings—university campus (first-year students) and rural clinical placements (second-year students).
Evaluation involved questionnaires, focus groups (faculty and students), and document analysis.
Descriptive statistics were computed.
Focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed thematically.
Response rates for questionnaires exceeded 84%.
Compared with second-year students, significantly more first-year students (60%) took their laptops to campus daily (P=0.14) and used their laptops for more hours each day (P=0.031).
All students used laptops most frequently to access the internet (85% and 97%) and applications (Microsoft Word (80% and 61%) and Microsoft PowerPoint (80% and 63%)).
Focus groups with students revealed appreciation for the laptops but frustration with the initial software image.
Focus groups with faculty identified enthusiasm for mobile learning but acknowledged its limitations.
Physical infrastructure and information technology support influenced mobile learning.
Document analysis revealed significant costs and issues with maintenance.
If adequately resourced, mobile learning through university-issued laptops would be feasible and have educational benefits, including equitable access to learning resources, when and where they are needed.
However, barriers remain for full implementation.
