A theory of mobile learning is essential
when thinking of the role of mobility and
communication in learning environments.

both space and time and move from topic to
topic. Like a blended environment, learners
move in and out of engagement with
technology. A key point in mobile learning
theory is that it is the learner that is mobile,
not the technology (Shuler, 2009).

29. Three theories currently exist related to
mLearning
Sharples developed a theory around lifelong
learning that involves eight features. Shih
and Mills developed a mobile learning
model incorporating Keller’s ARCS model
(2007). Sharples et al. (2005) and Wishart
(2007) developed an evaluation framework
for a mLearning theory (Montalto-Rook et
al, 2010).
