Free Open Source Software: FOSS based elearning system is proposed together with blended learning and mobile learning. Mashup search engine for e-learning contents search and content adaptation from e-learning to mobile learning content are also implemented. Through implementation of the proposed system, it is found that the system does work well for improvement of learning efficiency. Keywords...

This study explored learners’ satisfaction toward a mobile learning system designed to enhance novices’ reflective thinking and problem-solving. Instructional multimedia were provided via mobile devices to facilitate novices’ learning of the Fedora system. Learners’ reflective thinking was enhanced by responding to the reflection prompts and summarizing what they had learned from the instructio...

Trends such as progress in mobile information technologies, lifelong learning and societal changes are at the basis of the development of mobile learning. A survey among 380 tourists and residents in the region of Tyrol / Austria investigated attitudes and expectations of persons interested in (mobile) learning offers during their leisure time as well as their preferred learning settings includ...

The research on mobile learning in science lacks in-depth investigation of the learning process. In this paper, we describe the implementation of a mobile technologysupported science curriculum developed by design-based approach. The long-term data collection and trace of learning process enable the exploration of students’ participation and identifying potential factors in mobile learning. Emp...

The development and use of mobile devices as well as its integration within education systems to deliver electronic contents and to support real-time communications was the focus of this research. In order to investigate the software engineering issues in using mobile devices a research on electronic content was initiated. The Developed MP3 mobile software solution was developed as a prototype ...

In the past several years, mobile learning made rapid inroads into the provision of medical education. There are significant advantages associated with mobile learning. These include high access, low cost, more situated and contextual learning, convenience for the learner, continuous communication and interaction between learner and tutor and between learner and other learners, and the ability ...

Cognizant of the research gap in the theorization of mobile learning, this paper conceptually explores how the theories and methodology of self-regulated learning (SRL), an active area in contemporary educational psychology, are inherently suited to address the issues originating from the defining characteristics of mobile learning: enabling student-centred, personal, and ubiquitous learning. T...

There has been increasing interest in informal learning in recent years alongside interest in how such learning can be supported by technology. However, relatively little is known about the extent to which adults make use of their own mobile devices to support informal learning. In this study, a survey was used to investigate whether, and to what extent, experienced users of mobile devices use ...

The widespread use of mobile devices, particularly by young people, offers new and exciting possibilities for learning. The mobility and pervasiveness factors inherent to mobile technologies allow learning at any time and in any place. This has led to some new developments in educational pedagogy based on the affordances that mobile technology brings to learning. “Mobile scaffolding” is a new r...

This study defines mobile technology (specifically in this study, smart phone technology) as a contemporary learning tool and environment that can make a difference in users' informal learning practice. Currently, in Korea, there are thirteen millions smart phone users and the number of smart phone users worldwide is expected to exceed one billion by 2013. Mobile technology is, therefore, becom...
