Shih’s Mobile Learning Model

M-Learning and Gaming & Learning

• In contrast to the traditional classroom, mobile technologies effectively offer students added convenience and flexibility, and allows them to learn wherever and whenever they choose. In situations where mobile technologies are integrated into a classroom environment, there are opportunities to soften the rigidity of the standard classroom arrangement because each learner is "connected" wherever they choose to be in that learning space. Outside the classroom, learners will be able to continue their studies in spaces that meet their individual needs. Mobile technologies empower learners to conveniently participate in learning environments.
