Mobile learning: A framework and evaluation

SpeakUp – A Mobile App Facilitating Audience Interaction

“…An early attempt at providing mobile learning support [11] allows student to access the course's content and post questions though the course's wapsite wapsite (i.e. a website using the now extinct WAP technology).…”

Uncoupling Mobility and Learning: When One Does Not Guarantee the Other

“…An example of the linking of mobile devices and learning is demonstrated in a quote such as, "with the proliferation of mobile devices, there is also great potential to harness mobile technologies to enhance learning" [12]. Some researchers claim mobile learning is distinctive from previous approaches to teaching and learning with technology because mobile devices liberate the learner to realise enactment of anywhere, anytime learning [4]. The widespread belief in the efficacy of mobile learning necessitates a research call to investigate the propositions, perceptions and outcomes.…”

“…Mobile access to the internet can provide the opportunity to engage in the tasks that these authors listed. These pedagogical processes are part of the repertoire of the constructivist educator, engaging the students in hands-on inquiry [2][3][4][5][6]. These tasks are part of the pedagogy of the higher educator and intended to promote learning.…”

The Contrivance of Mobile Learning: An Actor-Network Perspective on the Emergence of a Research Field

“…This type of mobile phones is becoming increasingly popular: in February 2009, 33% of all purchased mobile phones were smart phones. The cell phone, and especially the smart phone, seems, according to some scholars, particularly well equipped to contribute to students' mobile learning (Corbeil & Valdes-Corbeil, 2007;Motiwalla, 2007;Tsirulnik, 2009). The study of Chen et al (2003) is one of the earlier studies that explored the educational capacities of a mobile device, which makes it particularly interesting for the study of the emergence of the mobile-learning research domain.…”
