An Effective Mobile Learning Model for Learning through Mobile Apps

Abstract

With information and communications technology becoming portable and individualoriented, we are today experiencing the first level of effective mobile learning as it was envisioned decades ago. Mobile technologies have the power to promote and foster collaboration and communication, which are deemed essential for twenty-first century success. Mobile devices allow students to gather, access, and process information outside the classroom. They can encourage learning in a real-world context, and help bridge school, after school, and home environments. This paper discusses a transition between e-learning and mlearning. It also explains the social aspects as one of the context that accounts for mobile learning. Overall it suggests an M-learning framework using different contexts of mobile learning through a RDF data model.
