The document discusses a study on using mobile technology for creating eportfolios. It surveyed 67 students on their use of mobile devices for portfolio processes like documentation, reflection, and collaboration. Most students said mobile technology was quite helpful or a lot helpful for documentation and collaboration. Over half said it helped creativity through artefact creation and sharing. Most students planned to use mobile learning in their future teaching and have students create eportfolios using mobile devices. The discussion focuses on reflection, collaboration, and how mobile devices can support creative processes and further research should explore how these are implemented.

mLearning…
… is not just the miniaturization and convenience of
portable computing, but is transforming how we
conceptualize and interact with computing and our
environment, communicate, and create and manipulate
information (Cheney, 2010; Pachler, Bachmair, & Cook,
2010).
… is about ubiquitous social connectivity, instant
information access, and enhancing how we view the world
through digital augmentation (Cook, 2010).
… is empowering for learners, who can become content
and context generators within authentic learning
environments (Herrington & Herrington, 2006, 2007)
rather than simply consumers of transmitted content in
classrooms.
