Nowadays learning has developed to a new way of anywhere and anytime by using mobile devices called m-learning which can provide flexibility, independency and creativity in academic environment. Most studies about m-learning are for higher education and the most users of m-learning are higher education students. Although developed countries are using m-learning in educational sectors, most of the Middle East countries are far from m-learning, and facing number of challenges. In Iran m-learning is still in early stage of implementation in higher education and in terms of technical and infrastructural aspects there is a vast gap in compare with developed countries. Although technical and infrastructural difficulties are one of the significant aspects in implementation and integration of m-learning technologies in education, the technology will not be successful if could not adopt with users. Due to the importance of user adoption with m-learning, there are limited studies about m-learning adoption in higher education of Iran. This paper attempts to review on technical and infrastructural aspects that facilitate m-learning which have effect on adoption of Iran higher education system. The review of the trend in the literature provides a reference for higher education institutes for decision making in developing m-learning for their students.

Adoption of mobile learning (m-learning) is not new in Malaysian oil and gas industry, with heavy investment into research and development to train the workers. Nevertheless, the low application of learnt skills on the job remains an emergent research area where there is a missing link on the effects of m-learning and effective organisational learning and implication on its training transfer. The result of this quantitative research revealed that all variables in m-learning were found to have a positive relationship with the effective organisational learning, and there is evidence of training transfer as a mediator of the relationship between self-directed learning, training design, work environment and effective organisational learning. However, there were some discrepancies in the extend of training transfer between trainee characteristics and organisational learning. As such, some important issues emerged which challenge the importance of evaluating workers' readiness and transfer for a successful implementation of m-learning towards developing effective organisational learning.

As the knowledge society matures, not only distant, but also off-line universities are trying to provide learners with on-line educational contents. Particularly, high effectiveness of mobile devices for e-Learning has been demonstrated by the university sector, which uses distant learning that is based on blended learning. In this paper, we analyzed previous m-Learning scenarios and future technology prospects. Based on the proposed m-Learning scenario, we designed cellular phone-based educational contents and service structure, implemented m-Learning system, and analyzed m-Learning service satisfaction. The design principles of the m-Learning service are 1) to provide learners with m-Learning environment with both cellular phones and desktop computers; 2) to serve announcements, discussion boards, Q&A boards, course materials, and exercises on cellular phones and desktop computers; and 3) to serve learning activities like the reviewing of full lectures, discussions, and writing term papers using desktop computers and cellular phones. The m-Learning service was developed on a cellular phone that supports H.264 codex in 3G communication technology. Some of the functions of the m-Learning design principles are implemented in a 3G cellular phone. The contents of lectures are provided in the forms of video, text, audio, and video with text. One-way educational contents are complemented by exercises (quizzes).

본 연구는 모바일러닝의 효과성을 높이기 위해 고려해야 할 지침을 얻고자, 모바일러닝 환경에서 학습성과를 예측하는 요인으로 모바일러닝 효능감, 편재성, 유용성, 용이성을 선정하고 이들의 예측력을 규명하였다. 이를 위해 2012학년도 9월에서 10월초까지 경남 지역에 소재한 A여자 고등학교 2학년 학생 144명을 대상으로 약 5주동안 모바일기기를 활용하여 모바일러닝을 진행하였다. 수업 종료 후 학습자의 설문을 수거하여 상관분석 및 회귀분석으로 데이터를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 모바일러닝 효능감, 유용성은 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치고, 유용성, 편재성은 인지된 성취도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 모바일러닝 활용 측면의 편재성, 용이성 등의 기기자체의 특성 보다는 모바일러닝에 대해 본인이 느끼는 긍정적 태도나, 유용하다고 느끼는 정도가 모바일러닝의 만족도를 예측하는 요인으로 규명된 것이다. 반면 편재성이 인지된 성취도를 유의미하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 모바일 특성상 시간과 장소에 관계없이 필요한 정보를 이용할 수 있고 자신에게 적합한 서비스나 정보를 제공받을 수 있으므로, 학습자가 모바일학습 환경에서 더욱 효율적인 학습이 가능했기 때문이라고 생각된다. 유용성이 만족도와 인지된 성취도 모두를 유의하게 예측한 것은, 학습자에게 유용한 모바일러닝을 제공하고 또한 모바일러닝에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 함양할 수 있도록 하는 전략이 필요하다는 것을 함의한다.
