Abstract

Educators have pointed out the necessity of situating students in real-world learning scenarios. They have also indicated the importance of providing a technology-enhanced learning environment that enables students to access digital learning resources in anywhere and at any time. The popularity of mobile and wireless communication technologies has provided a good opportunity to accomplish these objectives. In the past decade, many studies that employ those technologies in various practical educational settings, such as the learning activities of computer, mathematics, engineering, social science and natural science courses, have been reported. In addition, various strategies and tools have been proposed to help students more effectively learn with mobile devices. In this article, the strategies, applications and trends of mobile technology-enhanced learning are reported based on the literature. It is expected that the article would benefit those who are interested in applying mobile technologies to learning activities or training programs.
