<p style="text-align:justify">Since the advent of mobile learning, developments in its practice and research have been triggered by technological innovation and advancement. For instance the arrival of laptops, afforded new models of technology integration and accessibility within the classroom and freed technology from the ‘imprisonment’ of computer rooms. The appearance of handheld devices offered potential for the exploitation of contextual outdoor learning and freed learners and technologies from the confinement of classrooms. The emergence of mobile phones democratized access to technology, revolutionized the concept of user generated content and freed learners and technologies to experiment with technologies outside classrooms and schools. <br>
The incursion of multi-touch tablets in the mobile learning scene is the latest technological ‘wave’. Though in early stages, sensationalist reporting of the ipads <i>for </i>Learning (<a href="http://ss3.gmsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1322773656068&StID=1351&SID=0&NID=743899&EmID=2803580&Link=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5pcGFkc2ZvcmVkdWNhdGlvbi52aWMuZWR1LmF1Lw%3D%3D&token=1403a284517878545519d175d9d74ff2e9175302" target="_blank">http://www.ipadsforeducation.vic.edu.au/</a>) initiatives already advocate ipads will displace playdough and finger painting in Kindergartens and the Horizon report 2011 states ‘<i><span style="font-family:Calibri">electronic books are beginning to demonstrate capabilities that challenge the very definition of reading’ </span></i>(<a href="http://ss3.gmsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1322773656068&StID=1351&SID=0&NID=743899&EmID=2803580&Link=aHR0cDovL3dwLm5tYy5vcmcvaG9yaXpvbjIwMTEvc2VjdGlvbnMvZWxlY3Ryb25pYy1ib29rcy8%3D&token=1403a284517878545519d175d9d74ff2e9175302" target="_blank">http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2011/sections/electronic-books/</a>). </p>
<p>Against this background the relevance and need for mobile learning research and practice founded upon learning theories, focused on pedagogically meaningful approaches to mobile learning and systematically evaluated with appropriate data collection and analysis tools, remains paramount. <br>
