Informal, personalized, situated mobile learning

In mobile learning  interaction  remains significant, but with intensified frequency and flexibility. Through mobile-accessible systems, learners can gain more  freedom  to study according  to  their own needs
and preferences. Paulson (1993) listed six dimensions of freedom: space, time, pace, media, access, and content. To  this, Anderson (2008) added f reedom of relationship. Mobile  learning complements  all seven
dimensions,  potentially  making  it  easier  to  choose  how  and  when  to interact.  Furthermore,  cellular  telephones,  in  particular,  can  enhance social and emotional presence and lead to a sense of ambient co-presence,the sense of continuous availability (Chayko, 2008). Indeed, learners can even suffer from too much contact and loss of privacy.
