The research presented here will share the insights and results that have developed from a doctoral study in progress, which examines individual and group study habits & learning practices.
The results of this study provide foresight into emergent practices regarding formal and informal study/learning contexts. Furthermore, this research demonstrates that the future of learning is already here, it is increasingly becoming more oriented towards mobile-learning scenarios and
that the mobile technologies, services and practices associated with shaping how we learn now
and in the future are currently only practiced by a few, but will impact many in the near future.

• It is the learner that is mobile, rather than the technology
• Learning is interwoven with other activities as part of everyday
life
