9. What is Mobile Learning?
Mobile Learning (commonly referred to as M-Learning) can be defined
as: Any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed,
predetermined location such as a workstation, or learning that happens
when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered
by mobile technologies. In other words mobile learning enables learning
to occur regardless of location.
