Mobile Learning
3 important questions on Mobile Learning
3 levels of Mobile Learning research
- Macro: How society and its institutions can support an increasingly mobile population
- Meso: How mobile learning technology can be coupled with other forms of learning taking place in organisations and schools
- Micro: Clarification of the conditions necessary for mobile learning to be successful for an individual or a group of learners
Disadvantages of Mobile Learning:
- Cost
- Privacy
- Security
- Confidentiality (mobile number)
- Battery problem
- Difficult to browse the phone
- Device is unreliable, it crashes, sound quality is poor

- Miniature but portable e-learning: use mobile technologies for conventional e-learning techniques
- Connected classroom learning: to support collaborative learning
- Information, personalized, situated mobile learning: location awareness, video-capture, etc.
- Mobile training/ performance support: delivering information and support just-in-time and in context for their priorities
- Remote/rural/development mobile learning: Delivering an supporting education where conventional e-learning technologies would fail
- Technology-driven mobile learning: Enlarge existing mobile devices to improve the learning experience.
