The use of mobile devices and a wireless Internet connection have provided distance learners with more powerful tools for facilitating the learning process that could result in improved learning outcomes. Digital distance learning is a new phenomenon that has transformed the nature of distance learning into a more powerful, effective delivery medium. Over the past decades, we have conducted many empirical research studies in digital distance learning. This research shifted attention to the continuous moderating roles of mobile devices on motivation. Structural equation modeling is applied to examine the moderation effect of mobile devices on learning outcomes in the context of university online courses. A total of 323 responses from online students who have completed at least one online course at a university in the Midwestern United States were used to examine the structural model. Findings indicate that statistically insignificant moderating effect of mobile device use on the relationship between motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and learning outcomes.
