definition of m-learning

this is the debate in which I am engaging.

here goes my initial post at mobimooc.

what is the correct way to say m-learning? (or mLearning), I guess latter is wrong.

in the m-learning, the context and mobile technology plays an important role. if a particular activity highly depends on both context and mobile technology, it would be real m-learning situation. otherwise, it may be use of mobile technology to engage your learning.

what you think?

u-learning = e-learning + m-learning -- is this correct?

note: is there clear boundary between e-learning and m-learning. of course there is an overlap between these two so called intersection. (e-learning Ω m-learning)
here comes a nice article


btw, if the smart phone based m-learning is going to play a keyrole, initiatives like OLPC will come to end very soon (like what is going to happen e-book readers).

e-learning is addressing the formal learning which comes as a part of education under different stages.

but m-learning is directed towards informal learning which connects to life long and continous learning or education

here comes another good resource

A nice statement:
Together, ifwe imagine and re-imagine the possibilities
for mLearning, we can give our most vulnerable
children, a teacher in their pocket, a classroom in their
hand, and a future at their fingertips."
