Designing a mobile learning environment for mathematics education requires an understanding of how technology relates to various epistemological and pedagogical systems. The purpose of this study was to systematically analyze scientific literature on mobile learning in mathematics teaching through the axes of conceptual mapping within the framework of qualitative research. The analysis categories were: notion, categorization, characterization, differentiation, methodology and exemplification. The contribution of this work refers to the definition of mobile learning in the teaching of mathematics considering its characteristics, such as context creation, social interaction, multimedia content and usability. It was identified that mobile learning increases the possibilities of electronic learning and enables ubiquitous learning when the student is immersed in the learning context. The studies analyzed do not report a precise methodology that allows evaluating the relevance of the design of a mobile learning environment. However, it was identified that the choice of the pedagogical principles and the definition of a thematic axis are fundamental. In addition to the demand for teachers' theoretical, pedagogical and digital skills. This work provides elements that could guide further research and applications.

The digitalization of society, changes in the structure of education, and increasingly rapid resources have accelerated the development of an open learning environment. The application of electronic learning and mobile learning raises several new problems such as alienating students from the real world, the difficulty of students focusing on learning goals, giving students opportunities to spend their learning time with entertainment, to the problem of increasing the cognitive load of students. Ubiquitous learning, as a continuation of the evolution of electronic learning and mobile learning, offers more than just the latest educational ideas or methods, where this system can accommodate students and their learning styles by providing adequate information anytime and anywhere based on their characteristics, needs, and desire to improve academic performance and productivity. The purpose of this study is to 1) develop the ubiquitous learning environment including the ubiquitous learning portal built with the Moodle LMS, and  the ubiquitous learning course in the Instructional Media course 2) find out the feasibility of the ubiquitous learning environment that has been developed. This study used the R&D for Education model implementing some stages including analysis, design, development, and evaluation. All stages have been completed to make a portal and ubiquitous learning course in the Instructional Media course that meet the eligibility criteria as a source/instructional media and has feasibility to use in learning.

This paper examines the idea of a Work Oriented Mobile Learning Environment (WOMBLE) and considers the potential affordances of mobile devices for supporting developmental and informal learning in the workplace. The authors look at the nature and pedagogy of work-based learning and how technologies are being used in the workplace for informal learning. The paper examines the nature of Work Process Knowledge and how individuals are shaping or appropriating technologies, often developed or designed for different purposes, for social learning at work. The paper goes on to describe three different use cases for a Work Oriented Mobile Learning Environment. The final section of the paper considers how the idea of the WOMBLE can contribute to a socio-cultural ecology for learning, and the interplay of agency, cultural practices, and structures within mobile work-based learning.
