Social learning analytics: five approaches (2012, background): “All these types of social learning analytic can be applied in a wide variety of contexts, including formal settings such as universities, informal contexts in which learners choose both the process and the goal of their learning [44] and in the many situations in which learners are using mobile devi”
Using mobile phones to improve educational outcomes: An analysis of evidence from Asia (2010, background): “They enable learning that occurs across time and place as learners apply what they learn in one environment to developments in another (Sharples et al., 2005, pp. 2, 4; 2007, pp. 222-23).”
Mobile learning in review: Opportunities and challenges for learners, teachers, and institutions (2006, unknown): “An initial attempt offered by Sharples, Taylor and Vavoula (2005, p. 4) suggested that a theory of mobile learning should be assessed against the following criteria: • Is it significantly different from current theories of classroom, workplace or lifelong learning?”
Why web 2.0 is good for learning and for research: principles and prototypes (2008, background): “The additional benefit of location-awareness can give rise to new learning scenarios [33].”
Basic elements and characteristics of mobile learning (2011, background): “It provides the pieces needed to accurately evaluate a learner's knowledge, skills, creativeness and etc. Sharples et al. (2005) described that assessment is matched to the ability of the learners, offering diagnosis and formative guidance that builds on success.”
Investigating attitudes towards the use of mobile learning in higher education (2016, methodology): “Derived by the mobile learning framework introduced by (Sharples et al., 2005), we are seeking to explore the attitudes dimensions that were adopting the mobile learning framework and adopting the quantitative approach using the survey instrument in order to measure the learners' attitudes through…”
Investigating acceptance toward mobile learning to assist individual knowledge management: Based on activity theory approach (2010, methodology): “…as an engagement with technology in which tools such as computers and mobile devices serve as interactive agents in the process of coming to know, creating a human-technology system to communicate, mediating agreements between learners and aiding recall and reflection (Sharples et al., 2005).”
Mobile Medical Education (MoMEd) - how mobile information resources contribute to learning for undergraduate clinical students - a mixed methods study (2012, background): “As described in activity theory, the social context is important, with “social rules and conventions govern[ing] what is acceptable” and attitudes influenced by surrounding opinion [21].”
