Abstract. This paper reviewed research studies published on the topics related to mobile learning and investigate its trends. One hundred and five articles were selected based on a set of criteria. The contents were then analyzed, and results were summarized to highlight the key findings. The review revealed that there was an increase of mobile learning research studies being published, compared to two previous similar studies. However, comparable themes appeared: (1) the importance of strategic planning and implementation of mobile learning; (2) the need for effective instructional designs; and (3) mobile technology still has limitations. The conclusions of the findings may provide researchers or any interested educators with more information on the trends in mobile learning.

The article looks at smartphones within the framework the ever-growing integration of digital services being offered to users today. It analyzes their typology, limits and scope, their positive and negative aspects, while taking a closer look at the risks and future consequences involved in setting up a system that generates information and personal data on users and stores them in the device itself as well as on computer platforms (the so-called clouds). This intimate information is subject to interpretation by personal-data mining (an advanced field of knowledge that focuses on data extraction, processing, and interpretation). This massive data set represents a source of information that has not been fully exploited to improve public health, facilitate human interaction, and enhance users' learning. On the other hand, different corporations have made use of it for purposes of industrial spying; commercial, political, or ideological surveillance of citizens; or direct interventions to manipulate behavior and control certain segments of the population.

Recently WhatsApp parent groups have turned out to be a popular subject but yet only been discussed widely in popular media environments such as daily newspapers or in some blogs or online forums. This kind of group can be considered as an informal group where the determination of coming together is a mutual interest.This research aims to widen the academic study area of WhatsApp by analyzing the dynamics of group communication through this application. To this end, firstly the development of WhatsApp groups and its characteristics and the differences between offline informal groups and online informal groups in terms of effective communication, peer relation and decision making will be interrogated. Then taking into account the social presence theory and the idea of being aware of communicating with somebody; WhatsApp parent group will be analyzed from the point of view of establishing a personal connection. As the research part of this study collected 6578 messages from a WhatsApp parent group will be evaluated by using content analysis. The results will be stimulating to understand and to explore the dynamics of WhatsApp parent group with regard to group communication and information sharing. WHATSAPP EBEVEYN GRUPLARININ DİNAMİKLERİNİ ANLAMAK: GRUP İLETİŞİMİ VE BİLGİ PAYLAŞIMI ÖzBu makale, henüz bilimsel olarak araştırılmayan bir vaka aracılığıyla WhatsApp grup iletişimi hakkında bir çalışma sunmaktadır ve WhatsApp çalışmalarına katkıda bulunmayı planlamaktadır. WhatsApp, insanların birbirleriyle iletişim kurma şeklini değiştiren yaygın bir mobil mesajlaşma uygulamasıdır. Anlık mesajlaşma aracı, kullanıcıların yalnızca metin formlarında değil, video, ses ve resim formlarında da mesaj göndermelerini sağlar. Özellikle arkadaşlar arasında gayri resmi amaçlar için veya meslektaşlar arasında daha resmi amaçlar için gruplar oluşturmak oldukça yaygın hale gelmiştir. Son zamanlarda WhatsApp ebeveyn grupları popüler bir konu haline gelmiştir ancak yalnızca günlük gazeteler gibi popüler medya ortamlarında veya bazı bloglarda veya çevrim içi forumlarda bu konu tartışılmaktadır. Bu tür ebeveyn grupları, bir araya gelme kararının karşılıklı çıkar ilişkisine dayandığı gayrı resmi gruplar olarak görülebilir.
