Mobile game-based learning in secondary education: engagement, motivation and learning in a mobile city game (2009, methodology): “…their portability, their social interactivity as both face-to-face interaction and the exchange of data between learners is made possible, their connectivity and their individuality as the support for different activities can be tailored to the needs of specific learners (see Klopfer et al. 2002).”
Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (2012, background): “Klopfer and his colleagues state the following properties of mobile devices: 1) portability: such devices can be taken to different places due to small size and weight; 2) social interactivity: exchanging data and collaboration with other learners is possible through mobile devices; 3) context sensi”
Viewing Mobile Learning from a Pedagogical Perspective (2012, background): “Traxler (2009, 30) described m-learning as ‘‘noisy’’ and problematic, featuring three essential elements: the personal, contextual and situated; while Klopfer, Squire, and Jenkins (2002) identified five features: portability, social interactivity, context sensitivity, connectivity and individuality.”
Literature Review in Mobile Technologies and Learning (2004, background): “Klopfer et al (2002) identify five properties of mobile devices (PDAs in this case) that produce unique educational affordances: • Portability – the small size and weight of mobile devices means they can be taken to different sites or moved around within a site.”
Environmental Detectives—the development of an augmented reality platform for environmental simulations (2008, background): “Klopfer, Squire, and Jenkins (2002) describe five properties of handheld computers that produce unique educational affordances:”
