“…In the same way that computer training is accepted as a normal part of equality of access to education, perhaps mobile device training needs to be provided as we enter the age of m-learning. At least one university in the USA has already pursued this course of action (Miertschin & Willis, 2004).…”

<span>This article reports on an m-learning research agenda instituted at our university in order to explore how mobile technology can enhance active, experiential learning. Details of the implementation and results of four areas of m-learning are presented: mobile supported fieldwork, fostering interactivity in large lectures with mobile technology, using mobile devices to learn about mobile technology and, finally, podcasting. These directions are informed by a concern for achieving m-learning practices consistent with sound educational theory and the needs of the contemporary, technologically aware student body. All four implementations have been successfully embedded in mainstream subjects on a continuing basis. Therefore they represent a departure from the project based approach of much m-learning reported in the literature. This outcome was achieved through a focus on the economic sustainability and feasibility of each case. An evaluation focusing on how well each case assisted students' learning found that, with the exception of lecture podcasting, all supported high quality experiential learning.</span>

“…A few research endeavors have focused on supporting on-the-job training primarily in the medical and nursing fields (Kukulska-Hulme & Traxler, 2005). Other projects have included teaching students some aspect of mobile technology, such as programming PDAs or using stylus technology (Bradley, Haynes, & Boyle, 2005;Miertschin & Willis, 2004).…”

This study focuses on the impact of wireless, mobile computing tools on student assessment outcomes. In a campus-wide wireless, mobile computing environment at an upper Midwest university, an empirical analysis is applied to understand the relationship between student performance and Tablet PC use. An experimental/control group comparison of mobile computing enabled learning outcomes in selected courses showed that the integration of wireless technology and highly functional computing tools did not have a negative effect on student assessment results. Out of the four courses evaluated, none of the revealed test scores were statistically different between non-using and mobile computer using groups, indicating no negative impacts of the introduction of ubiquitous technology into the classroom. A freshman-level college math course showed statistically significantly positive differences in course assessment scores when mobile computing was implemented over the same timeline. Results are discussed.

“…As an example of standalone courses, Sung et al [21] offered two upper-year mobile computing electives, with one focused on the implementation of a mobile application and the other on the design of mobile applications. Many other institutions have applied or used mobile technologies to enhance their teaching and students' learning experiences [27,28,29,30]. Cobcroft et al [28] studied mobile learning outcomes, challenges and proposed guidelines for future mobile learning experience.…”
