Some studies have indicated that technological innovations are likely to be embraced by students more so than by lecturers (Conole, de Laat, Dillon & Darby, 2008; Lane & Yamashiro, 2005; MacCallum & Jeffrey, 2010; Roberts, 2005) and that the motivation of lecturers to embrace tech- nologies can also influence students’ perceptions of using the technologies to support their learn- ing (Kuo, 2005). Likewise, Demb, Erickson & Hawkins-Wilding (2004) and MacCallum and Jeffrey (2009) identified that one of the major factors affecting student perceptions of the value of laptops to their academic success was their lecturer’s motivation to use mobile devices and the quality of their lecturer’s use of the technology for teaching.
