M-learning in review : Technology, standard and evaluation

Nowadays E-learning as a form of learning depending on networks and computer devices has been expanding by leaps and bounds. As a special kind of E-learning, M-learning (mobile learning) aims at the use of mobile devices anywhere at anytime by anybody. In this paper, the technologies to develop a M-learning system is deeply analyzed according to the layer model at first. Secondly, from the view of application, the standardization in M-learning is researched in order to accelerate the development and popularization of M-learning. Finally, quality estimation of M-learning system is discussed from the view of QoE (quality of experiences). The experience form end-user is the sole effective norm to judge the result of M-learning technology. It is no doubt that technologies, standardization and evaluation will play very important parts in the course of M-learning development.ICT-LEAP: EU TEMPUS JEP-32162-200
