Mobile learning (m-learning) can be characterized by the ability to promote a strong interaction among apprentices and tutors, assuring greater motivation, convenience and flexibility to the learning process. Mobile learning environments have emerged in this context as a way to support the m-learning initiatives. However, despite their relevance, there is no complete and welldefined set of requirements for such systems. Motivated by this scenario, in this paper we present a requirements catalog for mobile learning environments. The catalog was established from the results of a systematic review conducted in this domain. Additionally, based on the knowledge of domain specialists, the requirements were prioritized to reflect the main experiences, needs and constraints regarding the m-learning development. The catalog adopts a three-level hierarchical structure, in which the main criteria, characteristics and requirements of m-learning environments are defined and detailed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
