Session VII : Mobility

In 2000, Sharples, mobile learning expert in United Kingdom, pointed out that advanced mobile technology is making the transition from E-learning to M-learning. Therefore, mobile learning can be exempted from the limitation of computer environment, and use convenient mobile learning tools with the wireless network, so that learners can learn at anytime and anywhere.

I think that these issues are not a problem. For example, the mobile station can provide schools, not just parents. Even children should take the phone to school, have been or are to become a reality, even in the absence of teachers orders will occur. What educators should do is to follow this immutable reality, and to teach them how to better maintain their own phone. Secondly, when the children using a mobile device. Teachers and parents must be guilder, and regularly check their equipment to ensure there is no unnecessary applications, to avoid adverse effects on their research. And, in fact, students may question the teachers and teachers learn, in some cases, is a good learning. Maybe it sounds terrible teacher, but he is the ultimate goal of learning. Learners should be used as building claims, to build their knowledge and cooperation. Even if the change in the classroom, especially in the roles of teachers and students, the change is necessary, there is no danger. The concerns of the teachers is unnecessary, we should solve the problem and change you. "The problem in the absence of mobile phones should be banned in schools, teachers need more help and more training and more training in order to be able to have confidence in the teaching learning to use them."

In my opinion, that mobile learning emphasis on mobility, but it also has inevitable limitations. These limits are reflected in the following two points. First of all, the scene of any mobile learning will distract the attention of the students. In the context of mobile learning, the learning environment is complex and diverse, such as sitting on the bus, on a noisy street cafe and other places. Learners around multiple confounding factors, which is difficult for them to maintain a longer period of time and attention. Secondly, the learning environment of mobile learning is a fully independent learning environment, which can only be guaranteed for learners to provide a quality educational infrastructure, but cannot guarantee the quality of education provided.
