EDUCATE on SITE: User Acceptance of Mobile Web Applications in Architectural Education
The mission of the EDUCATE project (EDUCATE, 2011) is to improve the integration of sustainability and energy efficiency in architectural curricula in Europe. For this purpose, seven European universities each with different expertise and expert knowledge in the field of sustainability in architectural design founded a consortium. In order to exchange knowledge between the partner universities in the consortium, a web Portal, the EDUCATE Portal, has been developed. The relatively high screen resolution, powerful processing units and fast Internet connectivity of modern mobile devices means that the functionalities of the EDUCATE Portal can be made available on these devices. More and more web sites are introducing either mobile versions of their site or special applications to access their web site via mobile devices such as a mobile phone or a pad. In this paper, we investigate current user acceptance towards a mobile device service for the EDUCATE Portal using a questionnaire and present interim results. We also describe a prototype, EDUCATE on SITE, which allows users to connect to mobile services of the EDUCATE Portal. The prototype will be used in a pilot study to investigate changes in user behaviour and evaluate acceptance of the Portal mobile services.
