Abstract: The rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and COVID-19 necessitate personalised learning (PL) to adapt and utilise virtual environments for education. However, many current PL approaches lack adaptability, flexibility, and consideration for the South African educational system. This study aimed to create a mobile computing PL model (MPCL) that enhances learner motivation. Through factor analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), influential PL factors were identified and a conceptual model was developed. A South African university provided data via an online questionnaire, which was quantitatively analysed. The results revealed that factors such as social support and outcome expectations significantly impacted MPCL, while content currency did not contribute significantly. This research expands the limited knowledge on MPCL and establishes a basis for future investigations. The developed model can serve as a platform for subsequent researchers to build upon in related research areas.
