Impact of Authentic Learning on the Satisfaction, Knowledge and Skills of Distance Learners in Context-Aware Ubiquitous Learning Environment

    This study was aimed to measure the impact of authentic learning on the satisfaction, knowledge and skills of the learners in context-aware ubiquitous learning environment. For this purpose an E-module based on authentic learning activities was developed. This was a single group pre-survey and post survey experimental study. All the students of M.Phil. DNFCE at AIOU in semester spring 2016 were taken as sample. The data was collected through questionnaires based on five point Likert scale. The descriptive statistical analysis (mean and Standard deviation) found suitable for the study and Pair T-test was used to compare the opinions of the learners of experimental group before and after the experiment. It is suggested that the activities based on authentic learning enhance students satisfaction, knowledge and skills so it may be practiced at the higher education level for better results and the students of AIOU may be prepared for 21st century in digital era.
