Abstract

This chapter describes changes that mobile devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, iPods and smart phones improve on the learning process. The diffusion of these devices has drastically changed learning tools and the environment in which learning takes place. Learning has moved outside the classroom becoming “mobile.” Mobile learning provides both learners and teachers with the capability to collaborate and share data, knowledge, files, and messages everywhere and everytime. This allows learners and teachers to microcoordinate activities withoutlimitation of time and space.
