Abstract
As the new generations of learners have entered the tertiary scene, the researchers aimed to collect data and determine the basic findings and statistical significance of using eLearning mobile application and its perceived effects compared to traditional teaching method in learning Art Appreciation. In this study, the findings are drawn through testing an interactive eLearning mobile application to the participants. The eLearning mobile application has information about art movements, artists, and the history of the art works. Furthermore, the eLearning mobile application also showcases new design features and concepts. The participants of the study are a collection of 50 students in varying genders, courses, and age currently enrolled in Art Appreciation. Survey questionnaires were distributed that aimed to attain statistical data that are essential to the research. Through the statistical figures that were gathered in this research, future researchers can have a more concrete data and reference if they would like to create an eLearning mobile application in the future. Furthermore, the research provided recommendations for a more effective learning method not only utilizing what traditional learning already has and what technology has to offer.
