“…Collaboration and co-construction of knowledge are nowadays seen as being the defining characteristics of learning, in contrast to cognitive models that previously concentrated more on the individual learner without much consideration of their social and physical environment. In relation to mobile learning, Luckin, du Boulay, Smith et al (2005) have defined a learning context as an 'ecology of resources' and have shown how technology can link different resource elements within and across learning contexts.…”

The successful development of mobile learning is dependent on human factors in the use of new mobile and wireless technologies. The majority of mobile learning activity continues to take place on devices that were not designed with educational applications in mind, and usability issues are often reported. The paper reflects on progress in approaches to usability and on recent developments, with particular reference to usability findings reported in studies of mobile learning. The requirements of education are considered as well as the needs of students participating in distance education; discipline-specific perspectives and accessibility issues are also addressed. Usability findings from empirical studies of mobile learning published in the literature are drawn together in the paper, along with an account of issues that emerged in two mobile learning projects based at The Open University, UK, in 2001 and 2005. The main conclusions are: that usability issues are often reported in cases where PDAs have been used; that the future is in scenario-based design which should also take into account the evolution of uses over time and the unpredictability of how devices might be used; and that usability issues should be tracked over a longer period, from initial use through to a state of relative experience with the technology.

“…Estudos recentes como Nascimento [2012] e Luckin, et al [2005], Colaço [2004] buscam compreender como o desenvolvimento e a aprendizagem ocorrem e quais fatores podem facilita-los, considerando a tecnologia e seus recursos como meios de potencializar a emergência desses processos.…”

“…Os autores Luckin, et al [2005] concluíram que a utilização adequada dos recursos tecnológicos maximiza a quantidade de assistência que o aluno pode absorver de seu ambiente, assegurando seu direcionado para emergência de ZDP. Pesquisaram a aprendizagem no contexto sócio-cultural de Vygotsky, considerando o conceito de ZDP como uma metáfora que configura a capacidade potencial do sujeito, utilizando a relação entre a diferença no que ele já consegue realizar sozinho e o que ele consegue fazer com assistência.…”

“…�ehkonen and Turunen (2003) have also argued that user-centred design means, not only planning learning goals and actions, but also specifying different contexts of use and the requirements of different 'actors', which might include teachers, students and even parents. Luckin et al (2005) have defined a learning context as an 'ecology of resources' and have shown how technology can link different resource elements within and across learning contexts. Technology nowadays has to support collaboration, co-construction of knowledge, cooperative problemsolving, and distributed cognition (distributed between people and external artefacts or tools).…”
