Mobile Learning Concept and Infrastructure in Higher Education
Mobile Learning Concept and Infrastructure in Higher Education

Summary/Abstract: Over the past fifteen years mobile learning has grown from a minor research interest to the set of significant projects in higher education. The outcomes of these projects show that mobile technologies offer new opportunities for learning that extend within and beyond the traditional teacher-led classroom. The theory of mobile learning described here puts mobility and context as the objects of analysis. The main assumption adopted here is that mobile technologies challenge the dominant transmissive paradigm of teaching in higher education, foster individualized learning, and encourage communication and collaboration among new “digital generation” of students as well as between teachers and students.
