Summary MobileHCI and Mobile Design research methods which
are grounded within the methodological theories of: Action Research, Ethno-methodology, Participatory Design and User Centred Design, can be easily adopted, adapted and augmented into Mobile Learning and Informal Learning Design research
Places learners as the main focus of research and design and opens up the potential for learner centered design and research within informal and mobile learning scenarios
