Abstract

Mobile e-book creates new opportunities for the teaching and learning process. The trend in the academic circle shows that mobile e-books are more popular in business, management, engineering and medicine than in other areas, for example, mathematics and pure sciences. Hence, this study aims to understand the positive impacts of mobile e-book use on mathematics postgraduate students' research activities. The study was guided by connectivism learning theory. It employed a qualitative case study design. Eight mathematics postgraduate students participated in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations. Collected data were analysed using the constant comparative method in NVivo 11 software. The findings showed that mobile e-books can increase student-content interaction, promote student-head of research group interaction, assist in understanding a subject from different perspectives and change the way of reading or learning.
