Abstract

Mobile technologies are increasingly used for learning, both individually and collaboratively, and supported by wireless connectivity, mobile devices have succeeded in achieving anywhere, anytime learning. Students learn in different ways and usually have their own styles and preferences for learning, and our understanding of these issues is supported by research which has taken place on “learning styles”. Given that mobile learning is a fairly new area, there has not been much work done on how learning styles can be incorporated into different learning scenarios facilitated by mobile devices. In this paper, we identify the Dunn and Dunn Learning Style model as one which is appropriate for mobile environments, and explain these reasons.
