ing What is m-learning?

• Mobile learning is a specific type of learning model using mobile technology.

• Mobile learning is more than just learning delivered and supported by handheld and mobile technologies. It is learning that is both formal and informal, context aware, and authentic for the learner (Traxler, 2005, 2007, 2010).
