paper_title: Criteria, Strategies and Research Issues of Context-Aware Ubiquitous Learning

paper_content:

Recent progress in wireless and sensor technologies has lead to a new development of learning environments, called context-aware ubiquitous learning environment, which is able to sense the situation of learners and provide adaptive supports. Many researchers have been investigating the development of such new learning environments; nevertheless, the criteria of establishing a context-aware ubiquitous learning environment have not yet been clearly defined, not to mention the strategies of conducting effective learning activities. To resolve these problems, this paper presents the basic criteria, strategies, and research issues of context-aware ubiquitous learning, and identifies the necessary check items as well for the development of such learning environment. Illustrative examples of conducting context-aware ubiquitous learning activities and the requirements of setting up such learning environment are also presented at the end of this paper.

paper_title: Security and Privacy in m-Learning and Beyond: Challenges and State-of-the-art

paper_content:

Mobile learning is constantly evolving, following the shift of mobile technologies from laptops to handheld devices and smartphones. Indeed, the opportunities for innovation in this area are numerous and constantly under the focus of all the parties involved, ranging from traditional schools and universities to individual learners. However, mobile technology brings along increased threats to system and data security and privacy, given the fact that learners and educators are mobile, and in most cases, permitted to use their own mobile devices to access resources and services. After identifying the challenges, this paper provides a comprehensive review and classification of the state-of-the-art research on security and privacy in the m-learning realm and beyond. As far as we are aware of, this is the first time an exhaustive and detailed survey of this kind is attempted.

paper_title: Examining Location-Based Services Usage from the Perspectives of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and Privacy Risk

paper_content:

ABSTRACT As an emerging service, location-based services (LBS) have not received wide adoption among users. Drawing on both perspectives of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and privacy risk, this research examined user adoption of LBS. We conducted data analysis with structural equation modeling. The results indicated that usage intention is affected by both enablers such as performance expectancy and inhibitors such as perceived risk. This implies that service providers need to concern both perspectives of technological perceptions and privacy risk in order to facilitate user adoption of LBS. Keywords: location-based services; UTAUT; privacy concern; trust 1. Introduction Mobile internet has been developing rapidly around the world. Especially, the application of third generation (3G) communication technologies triggers mobile internet development. According to a report issued by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) in January 2012, the number of mobile internet users in China has exceeded 356 million, accounting for 69% of its internet population (513 million) [CNNIC 2012]. Attracted by the great market, service providers have released a variety of mobile services, such as mobile instant messaging (IM), location-based services (LBS), mobile games and mobile payment. Among them, a few services such as mobile IM have been widely adopted by users. However, many services such as LBS have not received wide adoption among users. Mobile service providers need to understand the factors affecting user behavior. Then they can take measures to facilitate user adoption and usage of these services. LBS mean that mobile service providers present context-related information to users based on their location and preferences [Dhar and Varshney 2011]. This personalized service delivers a better experience to users. Due to this advantage, LBS are called the killer application of mobile business [Junglas and Watson 2008]. Typical LBS include location-based advertisement, navigation, emergency evacuation and location check-in services. LBS can bring great value to users and this may promote their usage behavior. However, LBS need to utilize users' location information. This may incur users' privacy concern and increase their perceived risk. Users feel that they are tracked by service providers. Their concern on privacy risk will negatively affect their usage of LBS. The objective of this research is to identify the factors affecting user adoption of LBS from both perspectives of technological perceptions and privacy risk. On one hand, LBS represent a new technological application. Thus we may apply information technology theories such as the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to explain user behavior. UTAUT is mainly concerned with the effect of enablers such as performance expectancy and effort expectancy on usage behavior. On the other hand, LBS user behavior may be also affected by inhibitors such as privacy risk. If users have high privacy concern, they may perceive great risk and have low trust in service providers. Thus it is necessary to integrate both perspectives of enablers such as performance expectancy and inhibitors such as privacy risk to examine LBS user behavior. Extant research has focused on the single effect of privacy risk on user adoption of LBS [Junglas et al. 2008b; Xu et al. 2011], and has seldom combined both perspectives of enablers and inhibitors to explain user behavior. This research tries to fill the gap. The results support our hypotheses. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. We review related literature in the next section. Then we develop research model and hypotheses in section three. Section four reports instrument development and data collection. Section five presents results and section six discusses these results. We present theoretical and managerial implications in section seven. …

paper_title: n-gram geo-trace modeling

paper_content:

As location-sensing smart phones and location-based services gain mainstream popularity, there is increased interest in developing techniques that can detect anomalous activities. Anomaly detection capabilities can be used in theft detection, remote elder-care monitoring systems, and many other applications. In this paper we present an n-gram based model for modeling a user's mobility patterns. Under the Markovian assumption that a user's location at time t depends only on the last n - 1 locations until t - 1, we can model a user's idiosyncratic location patterns through a collection of n-gram geo-labels, each with estimated probabilities. We present extensive evaluations of the n-gram model conducted on real-world data, compare it with the previous approaches of using T-Patterns and Markovian models, and show that for anomaly detection the n-gram model outperforms existing work by approximately 10%. We also show that the model can use a hierarchical location partitioning system that is able to obscure a user's exact location, to protect privacy, while still allowing applications to utilize the obscured location data for modeling anomalies effectively.

paper_title: Student Privacy: Harm and Context

paper_content:

This paper constructs a model of privacy assessment drawn from the context and harm approaches to privacy and applies it to the privacy issues raised by predictive modeling in education. This student privacy assessment involves assessing departures from existing norms of information flow embedded in the social context of education; assessing risks of harm to specific individuals or classes of individuals through unfair or unjustified discrimination; understanding the risk of adverse feedback effects on the aims and purposes of education itself; and the extent to which privacy issues mask more fundamental conflicts over educational values. The paper does not attempt to adjudicate these controversies but rather provides the conceptual and evaluative tools that might facilitate productive discussions.

paper_title: A Study of Trust in E-Shopping before and after First-Hand Experience is Gained

paper_content:

This study reports the quantitative findings of trust in e-shopping before and after first-hand experience is gained. A trust model is adopted and the results are based on the effect of the ability, benevolence, and integrity of e-merchants on the trust of e-shoppers. An e-shopping experiment was designed and the relevant information collected in a two-stage study. Stage one collected feedback from participants before they had gained e-shopping experience, and stage two gathered information after they had gained experience. The results show that the integrity of e-merchants had a positive and significant effect on the trust of e-shoppers before they gained first-hand experience, whereas the ability and integrity of e-merchants had a positive and significant effect on the trust of e-shoppers after they gained first-hand experience. The discussion on the managerial implications of these results is also included.

paper_title: Examining the impact of privacy, trust and risk perceptions beyond monetary transactions: An integrated model

paper_content:

Much interest in privacy and trust studies is about shopping, but privacy research in other forms of online activities is beginning to emerge. This study examined the antecedents of privacy, trust and risk as well as their joint effect on two similar but fundamentally different activities: online transactions and retrieval of privileged information. Both activities involve the delivery of private user information, but the latter gives some leeway for users to control (or even falsify) their true identity. User shopping experience in the present study moderated the relationships and strengths of constructs. The effect of Internet literacy, social awareness and disposition to trust on privacy concern and trust was weaker for experienced shoppers. Privacy concern, trust and risk assessment played a lesser role on the two activity variables for those who were more experienced. Perceived privacy risk stood out as a strong antecedent for respondents in both experience groups, but the effect of Internet literacy, social awareness and disposition on trust was statistically insignificant for the same group. Further practical and managerial implications are provided.

paper_title: A path analytic study of the attitude toward e‐government in Lebanon

paper_content:

The last two years have seen the growing interest in e‐commerce and e‐government in Lebanon. Through a review of literature and related studies, critical factors in peoples’ attitude toward participation in e‐government are uncovered. Empirical evidence indicates that Lebanese people are provided today with automated systems but they lack awareness of e‐government. The cognitive dimension “awareness” is significantly related to the conative dimension “intention to use e‐government” while the affective dimension “feelings” is less significant. The findings of the study reaffirm the importance of investigating future variables.

paper_title: Internet Privacy Concerns and Social Awareness as Determinants of Intention to Transact

paper_content:

This study focuses on antecedents to Internet privacy concerns and the behavioral intention to conduct on-line transactions. Perceptions of privacy are socially constructed through communication and transactions with social entities over a networked environment, a process that involves a certain level of technical skill and literacy. The research model specifies that social awareness and Internet literacy are related to both Internet privacy and intention to transact. Survey data collected from 422 respondents were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with LISREL and provided support for the hypothesized relationships. Social awareness was positively related and Internet literacy was negatively related to Internet privacy concerns. Moreover, Internet privacy concerns were negatively related and Internet literacy positively related to intention to transact on-line. This research explores the two alternative antecedents to Internet privacy concerns and intention to engage in e-commerce activity and contributes to our understanding of Internet privacy and its importance in the global information environment. The construct of social awareness can be broadened to develop a much-needed construct of awareness in MIS research related to the voluntary usage of information technology. A segmentation of Internet users with respect to privacy concerns is also proposed.

paper_title: Locking the door but leaving the computer vulnerable: Factors inhibiting home users' adoption of software firewalls

paper_content:

In the new era of a ubiquitously networked world, security measures are only as good as their weakest link. Home computers with access to the Internet are one of the weaker links as they are typically not as well protected as computers in the corporate world. Malicious actors can not only target such computers but also use them to launch attacks against other systems connected to the Internet, thus posing severe threats to data and infrastructure as well as disrupting electronic commerce. This paper investigates the factors that affect the use of security protection strategies by home computer users in relation to a specific, but crucial security technology for home - a software firewall. This paper proposes individuals' concern for privacy, awareness of common security measures, attitude towards security and privacy protection technologies, and computer anxiety as important antecedents that have an impact on the users' decision to adopt a software firewall. The results of our study suggest that attitude plays a more important role than perceived usefulness in shaping users' intention to use firewalls. We attribute this interesting finding to the non-functional nature of firewall systems that work best in the background with a complex relationship to users' productivity. Hence, the results add to our current understanding of Technology Acceptance Model vis-a-vis technologies that serve non-functional needs such as security. We then present a set of guidelines to home computer users, Internet Service Providers, e-commerce companies, and the government to increase home users' adoption rate of privacy and security protection technologies.

paper_title: Exploring the impact of online privacy disclosures on consumer trust

paper_content:

Abstract We explore the impact of privacy disclosures on online shoppers’ trust in an e-tailer through a two-phase study. In the first study, we use a between-subjects factorial design to test whether the presence of an online privacy policy influences consumer trust and find that consumers are likely to respond more favorably to a shopping site with a clearly stated privacy message than to one without it, especially when privacy risk is high. In our second experiment, we examine the effects of different forms of privacy disclosures. The results suggest that online shoppers find a short, straightforward privacy statement more comprehensible than a lengthy, legalistic one. However, how a privacy policy is presented (in terms of wording) does not affect a shopper's trust in the store to any significant degree.

paper_title: Personalization versus Privacy: An Empirical Examination of the Online Consumer's Dilemma

paper_content:

Personalization refers to the tailoring of products and purchase experience to the tastes of individual consumers based upon their personal and preference information. Recent advances in information acquisition and processing technologies have allowed online vendors to offer varieties of web-based personalization that not only increases switching costs, but also serves as important means of acquiring valuable customer information. However, investments in online personalization may be severely undermined if consumers do not use these services due to privacy concerns. In the absence of any empirical evidence that seeks to understand this consumer dilemma, our research develops a parsimonious model to predict consumers' usage of online personalization as a result of the tradeoff between their value for personalization and concern for privacy. In addition to this tradeoff, we find that a consumer's intent to use personalization services is positively influenced by her trust in the vendor. Our findings suggest that: 1. online vendors can improve their abilities to acquire and use customer information through trust building activities; 2. it is of critical importance that vendors understand and evaluate the different values consumers may place in enjoying various types of personalization.

paper_title: The Centrality of Awareness in the Formation of User Behavioral Intention toward Protective Information Technologies

paper_content:

While there is a rich body of literature on user acceptance of technologies with positive outcomes, little is known about user behavior toward what we call protective technologies: information technologies that protect data and systems from disturbances such as viruses, unauthorized access, disruptions, spyware, and others. In this paper, we present the results of a study of user behavioral intention toward protective technologies based on the framework of the theory of planned behavior. We find that awareness of the threats posed by negative technologies is a strong predictor of user behavioral intention toward the use of protective technologies. More interestingly, in the presence of awareness, the influence of subjective norm on individual behavioral intention is weaker among basic technology users but stronger among advanced technology users. Furthermore, while our results are consistent with many of the previously established relationships in the context of positive technologies, we find that the determinants “perceived ease of use” and “computer self-efficacy” are no longer significant in the context of protective technologies. We believe that this result highlights the most significant difference between positive technologies and protective technologies: while the former are used for their designed utilities, for which usefulness and ease of use have a significant impact, the latter are used out of fear of negative consequences, for which awareness becomes a key determinant. We discussed the theoretical and practical implications of these findings. The findings of this study extend the theory of planned behavior to the context of protective technologies and shed insights on designing effective information security policies, practices, and protective technologies for organizations and society.

paper_title: A UNIFIED RISK-BENEFIT ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR INVESTIGATING MOBILE PAYMENT ADOPTION

paper_content:

The paper proposes a unified risk-benefit analysis framework for investigating consumers’ adoption of mobile payment technology. Based on perceived risk theory and risk-benefit analysis literature, the proposed framework integrates three variables—perceived risk, perceived benefit and perceived value, to predict consumers’ intention to use mobile payment. All the proposed hypotheses are well supported based on an empirical validation of 336 useful survey samples. The results show that consumers consider both the beneficial and risky aspects of using mobile payment to evaluate the overall desirability (perceived value) of adoption decision. Further, perceived value, together with perceived risk and benefit directly affects consumers’ intention to adopt the technology. Financial risk is found to be the key resource of the risks of using mobile payment. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

paper_title: Comparison of Trust Sources of an Online Market-Maker in the E-Marketplace: Buyer's and Seller's Perspectives

paper_content:

While the recent growth of e-marketplaces such as e-auctions and e-knowledge markets seems phenomenal, several studies suggest that most Internet users have serious concerns about trust. Especially in the e-marketplace, buyers routinely engage with individual sellers with whom they have little or no prior interaction, making trust one of the most important issues to address.In this study, we test and analyze trust-building models for buyers and sellers with LISREL using survey data. The results show that the buyer's trust in a market-maker is positively related to the buyer's length of relationship to the market-maker, reputation of the market-maker, and some of the characteristics of the website hosted by the market-maker. For the seller, trust in a market-maker is also positively related to the market-maker's reputation, and also to some of the characteristics of the website. However, for buyers and sellers, there are different website characteristics that relate positively to trust in the market-maker....

paper_title: How shall I trust the faceless and the intangible? A literature review on the antecedents of online trust

paper_content:

Trust is generally assumed to be an important precondition for people's adoption of electronic services. This paper provides an overview of the available research into the antecedents of trust in both commercial and non-commercial online transactions and services. A literature review was conducted covering empirical studies on people's trust in and adoption of computer-mediated services. Results are described using a framework of three clusters of antecedents: customer/client-based, website-based, and company/organization-based antecedents. Results show that there are many possible antecedents of trust in electronic services. The majority of the research has been conducted in the context of e-commerce; only few studies are available in the domains of e-government and e-health. For many antecedents, some empirical support can be found, but the results are far from univocal. The research calls for more, and particularly more systematic, research attention for the antecedents of trust in electronic services. The review presented in this paper offers practitioners an overview of possibly relevant variables that may affect people's trust in electronic services. It also gives a state-of-the-art overview of the empirical support for the relevance of these variables.

paper_title: A Comprehensive Model of Perceived Risk of E-Commerce Transactions

paper_content:

Perceived risk is an important construct in e-commerce research, but it has not been approached in a manner sufficiently systematic, comprehensive, or detailed to be understood along multiple dimensions instructive for information systems designers. This paper fills the gap by proposing a model of perceived risk based on a well-established marketing theory of risk. It identifies events that expose consumers to harm in e-commerce transactions and measures the dimensions of perceived risk with rigorously developed formative indicators that incorporate the almost unlimited range of unwanted events of potential concern to consumers. This risk construct is placed in a nomological network and tested through an on-line field study of 411 participants aggregated with structural equation modeling. Test results show that the construct e-commerce transaction perceived risk is an aggregate factor with three dimensions: risk of functionality inefficiency, risk of information misuse, and risk of failure to gain product benefit.

paper_title: A trust-based consumer decision-making model in electronic commerce: The role of trust, perceived risk, and their antecedents

paper_content:

Are trust and risk important in consumers' electronic commerce purchasing decisions? What are the antecedents of trust and risk in this context? How do trust and risk affect an Internet consumer's purchasing decision? To answer these questions, we i) develop a theoretical framework describing the trust-based decision-making process a consumer uses when making a purchase from a given site, ii) test the proposed model using a Structural Equation Modeling technique on Internet consumer purchasing behavior data collected via a Web survey, and iii) consider the implications of the model. The results of the study show that Internet consumers' trust and perceived risk have strong impacts on their purchasing decisions. Consumer disposition to trust, reputation, privacy concerns, security concerns, the information quality of the Website, and the company's reputation, have strong effects on Internet consumers' trust in the Website. Interestingly, the presence of a third-party seal did not strongly influence consumers' trust.

paper_title: Understanding and mitigating uncertainty in online exchange relationships: a principal- agent perspective

paper_content:

Despite a decade since the inception of B2C e-commerce, the uncertainty of the online environment still makes many consumers reluctant to engage in online exchange relationships. Even if uncertainty has been widely touted as the primary barrier to online transactions, the literature has viewed uncertainty as a "background" mediator with insufficient conceptualization and measurement. To better understand the nature of uncertainty and mitigate its potentially harmful effects on B2C e-commerce adoption (especially for important purchases), this study draws upon and extends the principal-agent perspective to identify and propose a set of four antecedents of perceived uncertainty in online buyer seller relationship superceived information asymmetry, fears of seller opportunism, information privacy concerns, and information security concerns which are drawn from the agency problems of adverse selection (hidden information) and moral hazard (hidden action). ::: ::: To mitigate uncertainty in online exchange relationships, this study builds upon the principal agent perspective to propose a set of four uncertainty mitigating factor-trust, website informativeness, product diagnosticity, and social presence-that facilitate online exchange relationships by overcoming the agency problems of hidden information and hidden action through the logic of signals and incentives. ::: ::: The proposed structural model is empirically tested with longitudinal data from 521 consumers for two products (prescription drugs and books) that differ on their level of purchase involvement. The results support our model, delineating the process by which buyers engage in online exchange relationships by mitigating uncertainty. Interestingly, the proposed model is validated for two distinct targets, a specific website and a class of websites. ::: ::: Implications for understanding and facilitating online exchange relationships for different types of purchases, mitigating uncertainty perceptions, and extending the principal-agent perspective are discussed.
