Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, m-learning has been widely applied to various fields and has become a popular issue in educational research. M-learning can be simply defined as the application of hand-held devices, such as smartphones, laptops, palmtop computers, and electronic readers (e-readers), in order to enable learners to proceed with electronic learning (e-learning) anywhere and anytime, rather than limiting them to the confines of a classroom. On the other hand, those hand-held devices are basically for personal use, which can combine with some sensor technologies, such as screen touching track and GPS, to record the learning context and learning behavior along with mobility. Today, cloud computing is a prevailing technology which can help the teacher to realize the learning status in a timely manner to enhance personalized learning. Thus, fueled by technology, e-learning is entering the era of mobile and personalized learning, where those web-based paradigms or their extensions remain applicable to this trend. Thus, we believe those concepts from web-based learning can still benefit from the development of mobile and personalized learning for sustainable development and education.
