MOBILE LEARNING

1. MOBILE LEARNING Mobile is learning with portable technologies For some, mobile learning is simply an extension of electronic learning (e-learning), indeed it is sometimes referred to as mobile e-learning, and both can be seen, conceptually at least, as subsets of distance learning (Georgiev, Georgieva, & Smrikarov, 2004). One definition of mobile learning is: Any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies.
