Using mobile learning to engage learners: mobile learning technologies for remote learners

Wikipedia suggests that one definition of mobile learning, or mLearning, is "Learning that happens across locations, or that takes advantage of learning opportunities offered by portable technologies". Mobile learning is often linked to online learning, flexible learning and distance education but emphasizes remote access and the use of mobile devices such as PDAs and iPods. mLearning has enabled developing countries such as Africa to provide state-of-the-art learning to remote communities via mobile learning devices including mobile phones.
