Mobile learning: A topography and research

Abstract

A topography of mobile learning and the author’s research work in the three phases of mobile learning are delineated in this paper. The aim is to provide the diachronic summary of the author as well as other researchers in these three phases of mobile learning namely the focus on devices, learning outside classroom and the mobility of learners. The research covers in many domains of mobile learning. A brief discussion on the salient characteristics of mobile learning and the issues will be provided. Hopefully, the experience learnt can be valuable for other researchers in the field.
