Wikipedia Deﬁnition “Learning that happens across locations, or that takes advantage of learning opportunities offered by portable technologies.”

21st Century Swiss Army Knife “The convenience and pervasiveness of mobile devices is their main strength. Use this strength to reach your learners with information they need, store information your learners may need later, and get learners to complete tasks while going about their day-to- day lives.” Leonard Low

Five Moments of Learning Needs • When learning for the ﬁrst time • When wanting to learn more • When trying to remember • When things change • When something goes wrong Conrad Gottfredson

The Horizon Report 2009 Edition “Already considered as another component of the network on many campuses, mobiles continue to evolve rapidly. New interfaces, the ability to run third-party applications, and location-awareness have all come to the mobile device in the past year, making it an ever more versatile tool that can be easily adapted to a host of tasks for learning, productivity, and social networking. For many users, broadband mobile devices like the iPhone have already begun to assume many tasks that were once the exclusive province of portable computers. ”
