Mobile devices have disrupted and reinvented traditional media markets and distribution: iTunes and the iPod now rule music industry distribution channels, Twitter has reinvented Journalism practice, iTunes and the iPad are disrupting book publishing via ebooks and ibooks, and the television and movie industry are struggling to respond to the impact of iTunes, YouTube, Vimeo and mobile devices....

Despite the increasing importance of mobile devices in education, the essential features of these devices for ubiquitous learning have not been empirically addressed. This study empirically investigated the necessary conditions for using mobile devices as an educational tool for ubiquitous learning in higher education by a conjoint method. The results show that respondents want to use Window-ba...

Mobile technologies may be helpful to support students with disability in navigating buildings and accessing useful services in higher education facilities. However, the design of appropriate mobile solutions depends on knowledge of the actual needs of disabled students, and is made difficult by the lack of contributions in the literature about the point of view of disabled students on their ex...

Researchers have studied how game-based approaches to education might have impact in resource-constrained regions. However, the use of mobile technology, which allows freedom of movement and thus potentially enables more natural game-play behaviour, has not been extensively explored in the context of collaborative learning. In this paper, we explore two mobile-based approaches for using collabo...

Mobile devices such as PDAs, smartphones and tablet computers are becoming increasingly popular, setting out opportunities for new ways of communicating and collaborating. Research initiatives have ascertained the potential of mobile devices in education, and particularly, the benefits of incorporating them in the classroom for eliciting collaborative learning and active student participation. ...

Technology utilization in distance education has demonstrated its significance in the transfer of knowledge for both the instructors and the learners. This is also made possible through the use of the Internet which helps change the traditional teaching approaches into more modern methods when integrated with the pedagogical instruction. Mobile devices together with other forms of technology-ba...

The use of mobile devices is increasingly prevalent in education. These devices provide the convenience of supporting access to learning anytime, anywhere. Further, mobile learning provides opportunities to tailor the learning experience to dynamically changing contexts. Major challenges for constructing context-aware models to support this kind of learning include defining the contextual infor...
