Participants included 439 Thai students from 16 different majors. Principal component analysis and t-test results indicated that students with more advanced computer software skills used a wider range of mobile media for learning than did students with basic computer software skills. Students' advancement in using mobile media for learning was perceived as presenting better academic and study skills. The results from this research could provide a guideline for designing a novel m-learning instruction.
