What is m-learnings ? New learning paradigms 新的學習範式 - individual / learner centered 個別的 學習者中心
- collaborate learning 合作學習 - situated learning 情境學習 -contextual learning 內容學習 -ubiquitous 無所不在的 -life long 終身 m-learning is the intersection of mobile computing and e-learning, that includes anytime, anywhere resources; strong search capabilities; rich interaction; powerful support for effective learning; and performance-based assessment. Why m-learning
Enhance learner success 提高學習者的學習成效
- real world skills 真實世界的技能

m-learning devices 行動學習設備 PDAs Tablet PCs Mobile phones Wearable computers Laptop computers E-book readers Hybrid devices Limitation of m-learning 行動學習的限制 -small screen size and limited storage capacities 小尺寸螢幕和 有限的儲存容量 -batteries require regular charging 電池需要定期充電 -lack of common platform 缺乏共同的平台 -more easily lost or stolen 容易遺失或被盜 -much less robust than desktops -out of date very quickly 機具過時的很快 -security issues 安全問題(電磁波) -bandwidth problems 頻寬問題 -more difficult to upgrade and limited potential for expansion 比較難升級、擴充能力有限 Future of m-learning 行動學習的未來 m-learning may currently be most useful as a supplement to ILT, online learning and more traditional learning methods, but can do much to enrich the learning experience.
As devices become integrated, and mobile phones combine PDA functions with cameras, video and MP3 players, and as tablets combine the portability of PDAs with the functionality of desktops, the world of learning becomes more mobile, more flexible, and more exciting.
The success and impact of m-learning does not, however, solely depend on the technological developments and the possibilities they provide. The ability of educators to design and develop didactical sound m-learning opportunities and environments that enhances learning is imperative. Pedagogical issues of m-learning 行動學習的教育議題
The strengths of m-learning lie in a communication approach rather than a content approach.

Not all courses are suited to the m-learning environment.
Purely technical and practical courses are not suitable.
Short courses and mainly theory and information type courses are suited to the mobile learning environment.
The learning environment can be enhanced by the use of quizzes to test knowledge, summary of main learning points, and interaction with other students and the teacher via mobile learning devices.

應用PDA的解決方案，pda有許多特點和優勢，在最近被應用的有很多例子。
