There are ... “excellent examples” of successful mLearning activities taking place in both distance learning and face-to-face classroom environments. In one example, note the authors, learners can extend their formal face-to-face learning to homework, field trips, and museum visits by reviewing learning material on mobile devices or collecting and analyzing information using handheld devices.

Characteristics of Quality M-Learning Environments

1. Intentionally plan and creatively approach a specific design for a mobile environment.

2. Utilize technologies that support learning in an unobtrusive way with a mobile device (no Flash or extensive use of frames).

3. Design frequent connecting points and establish web communication links to connect the instructor and the student.

4. Design connecting points and establish web communication links to connect the students to each other to effectively create a social learning environment.

5. Design connecting points through the use of web page links using high quality and varied media to teach content. Reduce stand-alone text as much as possible.

6. Design assessments that are easily accessed in a mobile environment.

7. While it is not necessary to become an expert with all devices, or to dictate the specific tools used, it is recommended to test the course materials and LMS features on a variety of mobile devices to understand what students will see and hear on their device.

8. Some devices work better than others for different learning content including video and web pages. If you do use material that does not interact well with a specific device, communicate that information as early as possible to students.
