What is mobile learning? Mobile learning (also known as m-learning) has been defined as “the acquisition of any knowledge and skill through using mobile technology, anywhere, anytime, which results in an alteration in behavior.” As noted in the introduction above, ideally, mobile learning is personalized based on the characteristics and context of the learner, and mobile learning uses mobile devices to connect to the cloud of information available through electronic networks. Mobile learning has also been referred to as a “nomadic learning style.” A wide variety of mobile devices and mobile systems can be used in mobile learning. Mobile systems include short range or personal area network technologies such as Bluetooth and RFID tags, WiFi networks using wireless routers, and MAN/WAN networks that allow cell phones to connect to other telephones through metropolitan area or wide-area networks. Mobile devices that are readily available for mobile learning include the following: > Bar-code readers for PDAs > Electronic voting systems (also known as “clickers”) > Graphing calculators with probes > Hand-held gaming devices > iPods and MP3 players > Laptop computers > Mobile phones > Personal digital assistants (PDAs) > Smart phones > Tablet computers > Ultra-mobile PCs > USB storage devices A number of other mobile devices are at the experimental stages and are not commercially available but indicate possible future directions for mobile learning. These devices include the following: > A cardiac glove that teaches first responders how to perform CPR > A bracelet that exchanges contact information and other data with someone else wearing a similar bracelet when the two people shake hands Do not reproduce 5
