BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

“Rapid developments in ICT and evolving learner behaviors require learning institutions to continuously reevaluate their approaches to pedagogy, both in the physical and virtual classroom spaces.”Rachel, Stephen, Judith and Axel 2006

WHAT IS WRONG? = THE PROBLEM

Digital Native (Students)

VSTraditional Setting

WHAT I WANT ASK? = RESEARCH QUESTION

• What are the current trends of Mobile Learning and their Technologies?

• Why are they related to Learning?

• What are the new Technologies that Professionals recommend for Learning Settings?

Page 7: Current trends and emphasis

WHY THE STUDY ?= MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY

“The use of wireless, mobile, portable, and handheld devices are gradually increasing and diversifying across every sector of education, and across both the developed and developing worlds”

Ally 2009

WHERE? = SCOPE OF THE STUDYThis study will primarily consider ;• Technical reports by

some research agencies

• Latest conference proceedings

• Some academic journal publications

On the latest trending mobile learning technologies in recent years preferably from 2008 to 2013

WHO SAID WHAT? (REVIEW OF RELATED LITRATURE)

• Mobile technologies offer learning experiences which can effectively engage and educate contemporary learners and which are often markedly different from those afforded by conventional desktop computers.

Laura, Peter, Giasemi and Mike 2005

• The personal nature of these technologies means that they are well suited to engaging learners in individualized learning experiences, and to giving them increased ownership (and hence responsibility) over their own work

Laura et al 2005

• The worldwide mobile phone sales to end users totaled 435 million units in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 3.6 percent from the same period last year, also the worldwide smartphone sales to end users reached 225 million units, up 46.5 percent from the second quarter of 2012.

Gartner Inc, 2013

WHO SAID WHAT? (REVIEW OF RELATED LITRATURE)

• The ubiquity of mobile devices has enabled the widespread integration of these devices into every aspect of our lives and all sorts of human activities.

Paul, Adrian, Mihai and Wietske (2012)

• Mobile devices provide a unique opportunity to have learners embedded in a realistic context at the same time as having access to supporting tools. Each learner carries a networked device which allows them to become part of the dynamic system they are learning about.

Yuen, S.C.Y., and Wang, S.Y. (2004)

• Mobile devices allow students to record their own reflections on activities or events, and share with other students via podcasting.

Chan, A. and Lee, M.J.W. (2005)
