In all cases, learning on the move, or in environments where learners are not confined to sitting in front of a fixed computer, means that the nature of what is learnt, and how it is learnt, is liable to change.
Mobile and wireless technologies support learning designs that are personalised, situated and authentic. Can also support learning designs that are opportunistic, informal, and spontaneous.
Personalised learning: learning that recognises diversity, difference and individuality in the ways that learning is developed, delivered and supported.
Personalised learning: includes different learning styles and approaches, and recognises social, cognitive and physical difference and diversity.
students in formal learning are under a range of growing pressures, time, money, resources and conflicting/competing roles. mobile and wireless technologies can allow these students to exploit small amounts of time and space for learning, to work with other students on projects and discussions and to maximise contact and support from tutors.
It is still not clear how much professionally generated content they will access, and how far - in contrast - they will wish to generate and share content in what Shirky (2002) called 'mass amateurization'.
