Kurubacak, G. (2007). Identifying Research Priorities and Needs in Mobile Learning Technologies for Distance Education: A Delphi Study. International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 19(3), 216-227. Gulsun Kurubacak, an associate professor in Applied Communication at the College of Open Education of Anadolu University, based her research study on issues from participants on mobile learning. She also based on four questions that focus to identify, categorize, rank the priorities, and needs for mobile learning in education. However, she states there are problems, dilemmas and arguments that need to be address and overcome for the future use of mobile learning in distance education, some are multicultural diversity, workers diagnosing communication problems, technical support, and social adjustments. Online workers can benefit by understanding the future needs and priorities before implementing the use of mobile learning in distance education. Mance, I. (n.d.).

Park, Y. (2011). A Pedagogical Framework for Mobile Learning: Categorizing Educational Applications of Mobile Technologies into Four Types. International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 12(2), 78-102. Yeonjeong Park, from Virginia Tech USA, the author of this informative journal, based her study on previous research from other sources and previous studies. The author classifies studies that were previously done on this topic into four types to help the reader understand the characteristics of mobile learning in distance education. Even though some limitations are address in this journal, the research studies that are noted focus their attention more on the benefits of mobile learning which are more. This journal provides useful information that will be of help for instructional designers to incorporate mobile technology into teaching. Rooyen, A. v. (2008). Integrating Mobile Technology into a Distance Education Accounting Module. Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on e-learning (pp. 475-479). Reading: Academic Pub.. Annelien Van Rooyen, conference committee participant e-learning community, PhD candidate at the University of South Africa, wrote a paper on Integrating Mobile Technology into a Distance Education Accounting Module, based on her research of mobile technology in distance education and its impact. She states that the purpose of the research was to find an affordable and accessible technology device to help learners throughout their studies that would help to obtain faster information and communication from their professors and help reduce the drop rate. It concluded as the cell phone being the device most own and used by students.
