Abstract

Despite the ubiquitous and potential of mobile technology in education, there is limited consideration for mobile-supported learning environments (M-learning) within the learning management systems (LMS) in many institutions of higher education in developing countries. Beyond the limitations of accessibility and flexibility, it is crucial to reconsider how to sustain learners' active engagement through integration of e-portfolios and M-learning. This chapter explores how such an integrative approach can be operationalized to facilitate effective e-learning. Further, the implementation of e-portfolios within M-learning contexts from situated and authentic learning theoretical perspectives is examined with suggestions to promote active engagement and meaningful learning.
