The ubiquity of Internet-capable mobile devices in the lives of people around the world has given rise to new learning practices that occur in an increasingly complex digital ecosystem. Mobile learning enables teachers to deliver instructional materials to a student when they need them, at points where the relevance and value of the knowledge are highest. In this chapter, the authors examine how the trend toward ubiquity of mobile and digital technologies has converged with changes in research paradigms in Education to produce a new approach to mobile learning design. This ‘mobile literacies' approach extends from contemporary thinking on mobile learning, cognitive science, the New Literacies, and instructional systems design. The chapter provides a design heuristic for ensuring attention to the important facets of the design of materials that take advantage of new opportunities for ‘learning in the mobile age.'

Mobile learning (m-learning) environments provides a wide range of new and exciting learning opportunities supported by the wireless technology. This paper discuss the role of m-learning in the new educational setting which creates student-centered learning and educational practice, offering new more flexible learning methods for higher education. In the digital 21st century learning and educational processes are integrated with new information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the education system. This new m-learning technology has fascinated the interest of researchers, educators and companies developing learning system and instructional materials. M- Learning facilitates a new mechanism of teaching and learning process in order to enhance the learning and education experience of the students. The use of mobile devices and wireless technology in the new learning environments allows students to achieve more in their educational process. The students will be enthusiastic about the new learning options provided by the mobile technologies.  The m- learning environment will provide new study opportunities for the students which strengthen the flexibility of being able to study at any time and any place.

Mobile learning or m-learning is viewed as a useful component of the flexible learning model. Learners’ everyday uses of mobile phones and other devices such as games consoles, which can also be used for learning, are now major drivers for the rapid uptake of mobile learning throughout the world. Even so, there are a multitude of challenges faced when introducing and implementing m-learning. This chapter explores ways in which mobile-supported learning can contribute to the global commitment to provide quality education for children, youth, and adults, as expressed in the goals of Education for All (EFA). The chapter concludes that mobile learning is part of a new learning landscape created by the availability of technologies supporting flexible, accessible, and personalized education.

<p>Technological development  have altered the way we communicate, learn, think, share, and spread information. Mobile technologies are those that make use of wireless technologies to gain some sort of data. As mobile connectedness continues to spread across the world, the value of employing mobile technologies in the arena of learning and teaching seems to be both self-evident and unavoidable The fast deployment of mobile devices and wireless networks in university campuses makes higher education a good environment  to integrate learners-centered m-learning . this paper discusses mobile learning technologies that are being used for educational purposes and the effect they have on teaching and learning methods.</p>

<p>This study intended to rediscover the concepts of mathematical induction and to develop a learning module that can make the students be more appreciative of mathematical induction. Specifically, this investigation aimed to measure the levels of knowledge and attitude of students towards mathematical induction. Guided by the ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation Evaluation) instructional systems design framework, the researchers employed the descriptive method and purposively chose 8 mathematics students whose attitude and cognitive levels were to be assessed using valid and reliable research instruments (α’s of 0.85 and 0.86). Findings revealed that the revisitation of the concept significantly increased the cognitive level but such intervention did not improve the attitude level of the students.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Math education, mathematical induction, revisitation, attitude, cognitive, mathematics students, Philippines</p><div> </div>

This study aims to develop a learning model by using web-based moodle e-learning videos to support student learning outcomes in Computer subject. This research is motivated by the development of technology increasing rapidly, the demand for efficiency is increasing. Video e-learning media is a very good breakthrough, and demands for modernization in the world of education. The research method in this study was conducted using the R and D method. The study began with preparing teaching materials that were previously used, preparing teaching materials from the latest sources, collaborating old teaching materials with new teaching materials, reviewing instructional materials that have been compiled, refining materials teach according to directions, make video tutorials based on teaching materials, tutorial videos that have been uploaded to youtube, video links that have been uploaded on youtube are combined with e learning, the final step is done by perfecting the web-based e learning video teaching material by doing several test times , evaluating, and correcting as needed.  Keywords: learning models, video learning, moodle e-learning
