Most  market  studies  focus  on  a  single  device  type  

the  research  literature  suggests  a  wide  range  of  different  devices  

but  

EducaJonal  Devices  in    the  Mobile  Learning  Literature  

•  PDA/iPods  •  Smart  phones  •  Feature  phones  •  Gameboys  •  Tablets    

•  Netbooks  •  Conver)bles  •  Laptops  •  Digital  cameras  

Mobility    vs.  

 Portability  of  devices?    of  learners?  

Most  studies  report  on  solu)ons  for  a  single  device  type  

…  but  do  they  reflect  the  educa1onal  reality?  

Who  really  uses  just  one    informaJon  technology?

Why  are  there  so  many    one-­‐on-­‐one  technologies  for  learning  and  educa)on

Mobility  is  not  at  the  core  of  the  mobile  revolu)on  

context,  ubiquity,  and  flexibility  of  informa)on  usage  is      

…  and  of  mobile  learning

Mobile  Mashups  are  complex  business  logics,  processes,  and  experiences  that  integrate  different  services  or  ac)vi)es  

Where  do  we  stand  today?  

Special  User-­‐Interfaces  aka.  Responsive  Design    (e.g.  LinkedIn,  Kindle)  

Cloud  Synchronisa)on    (e.g.  Kindle,  Evernote,    Drop  Box)  

Special  Apps  (e.g.  Facebook:    FB  pages  and  FB  messenger)  

For  educa)onal  seqngs  we  are  interested  in  integrated  and  managed
