“…Mobile learning have been applied in diverse areas such as in geography field work (Theng et al, 2007), rural area (Kumar et al, 2010), environmental restoration site (Rogers et al, 2009), and a trip to an archaeological park (Costabile et al, 2008). Theng et al (2007) implemented Mobile G-Portal, a group of mobile devices as learning assistant tools supporting collaborative sharing and learning for geography fieldwork.…”

“…Theng et al (2007) implemented Mobile G-Portal, a group of mobile devices as learning assistant tools supporting collaborative sharing and learning for geography fieldwork. From their study, Theng et al (2007) suggested that digital libraries could go beyond desktop applications, providing "just-in-time/just enough" information through mobility of new digital devices such as PDAs for more effective learning and teaching. Kumar et al (2010), on the other hand, carried out participant observations to identify the opportunities in students' everyday lives for mobile learning by conducting a 26-week study to investigate the extent to which rural children will voluntarily make use of cell phones to access educational content.…”

Existing typical room based learning in the four southernmost provinces of Thailand includes several limitations. Physical security is the key issue when making journeys to schools and universities and the destruction of physical buildings also poses concrete limitations to existing room based learning in the affected area. With this phenomenon, the accessibility to physical room based class is problematic and limited. In contrast, the accessibility to mobile networks is getting wider; accessibility to mobile devices is also getting cheaper and easier along the time, thus the investigation on how mobile learning could benefits the learners should be conducted. Consequently the research objectives were constructed which are (1) to estimate the current situation in the four southernmost provinces of Thailand, (2) to identify the limitations of existing room based learning affected by the unrest situation in the area, (3) to explore information from government sources and published papers about mobile technology used in the southernmost provinces of Thailand and (4) to construct initial guidelines and recommendations framework when using mobile technology as a learning environment in the school system of the southernmost provinces of Thailand. In order to achieve these objectives, the literature analysis, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. From the analysis of the data collected, it was found that the utilization of mobile technology in the four southernmost provinces of Thailand currently still far behind the idea of what mobile learning technology should be. There are several limitations and thus certain guidelines for the mobile learning implementation should be produced.

Abstract.A preliminary framework, termed as DL2Go, that enables editable and portable personal digital libraries is presented. For mobile offline users of digital libraries, DL2Go can: (1) package digital libraries into mobile storage devices such as flash drives, along with needed application softwares (e.g., wiki and DBMS), (2) (de-)compress contents of digital libraries to address storage constraints of mobile users when needed, (3) enables users to add, delete, and update entities of digital libraries using wiki framework, and (4) share/sync edited contents with other DL2Go users and the server using web services and RSS framework.
