2. Mobile Learning Defined
•
Learning or training: knowledge construction,
skill development and performance support
•
Learners participate across locations, times and
contexts
•
Enabled by portable devices and web
connectivity
•
M-learning devices: handheld, portable,
connected, always-on, personal, ubiquitous
…contingent on needs and context
3. The Mobile Learning Ecosystem
Outcome:
To identify the various components of the mlearning system and understand how they
contribute to the effectiveness of mobile learning.
