An activity-oriented design framework for mobile learning experience

This paper proposes a conceptual design framework for mobile learning (mLearning) mainly based on the reflection and action research results of Nokia Mobiledu project, which was recently launched in China and is targeted especially for learning English. The framework involves five stages: mLearning activity design, requirement and constraint analysis, mLearning scenario design, mLearning technology environment design and mobile learner support services design, in which mLearning activity design plays a key role in a systematic design procedure for mLearning experience.
