As the knowledge society matures, not only distant, but also off-line universities are trying to provide learners with on-line educational contents. Particularly, high effectiveness of mobile devices for e-Learning has been demonstrated by the university sector, which uses distant learning that is based on blended learning. In this paper, we analyzed previous m-Learning scenarios and future technology prospects. Based on the proposed m-Learning scenario, we designed cellular phone- based educational contents and service structure, implemented m-Learning system, and analyzed m-Learning service satisfaction. The design principles of the m-Learning service are 1) to provide learners with m-Learning environment with both cellular phones and desktop computers; 2) to serve announcements, discussion boards, Q&A boards, course materials, and exercises on cellular phones and desktop computers; and 3) to serve learning activities like the reviewing of full lectures, discussions, and writing term papers using desktop computers and cellular phones. The m-Learning service was developed on a cellular phone that supports H.264 codex in 3G communication technology. Some of the functions of the m-Learning design principles are implemented in a 3G cellular phone. The contents of lectures are provided in the forms of video, text, audio, and video with text. One-way educational contents are complemented by exercises (quizzes)

With explosive immersion of mobile technology supported by 3G/4G, it’s distinctive of being portable and online has injected new vitality to M-learning, people become to explore its potential under the surrounding of M-learning.
Based on the technology predominance of 3G/4G, this paper first analyses current situation of M - learning. Then it discusses the teaching relations and learning surrounding of M-learning with support of 3G/4G technology. Then it expounds on the challenges which 3G/4G brings to M- learning. Wish this paper could play an active role in actual research of M-learning.

Mobile learning (M-Learning) integrates the current mobile and wireless computing technology with education primarily to enhance the effectiveness of the traditional learning process. One of the difficulties in implementing M-Learning is to deliver the content efficiently. This paper fo- cuses on the development of M-Learning management tool in campus-wide environment using the Microsoft .NET infrastructure. User acceptance study was carried out to measure the feasibil- ity of the M-learning management application development. The results of the study indicate a tendency towards the M-Learning acceptance in campus-wide environment. The main objective of the works that have been carried out is to develop a server-side M-Learning application using the Microsoft .NET infrastructure. The works that has been carried out act as preliminary work for future development of M-Learning application in campus-wide environment.

The main aim of this research study is to better understand and measure students' attitudes and perceptions towards the effectiveness of mobile learning. This paper reports on the results of a survey of one hundred eighty six undergraduate female students at King Saud University about their attitude and perception to the use of mobile technology in education. An analysis of the quantitative survey findings is presented focusing on the ramification for mobile-learning (m-learning) practices in university learning and teaching environments. The author has attempted to determine how this technology can be optimally used to improve student retention at Bachelor of Art and Medicine programmed at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. Result of this survey clearly indicate that offering mobile learning could be our method for improving retention of B.A ,and M.D. students, by enhancing their teaching/learning. The biggest advantage of this technology is that it can be used anywhere, anytime and adopt their mobile learning systems with the aim of improving communication and enriching students' learning experiences in their open and distance learning.

Existing e-learning and knowledge management projects have shown that m-learning and mobile knowledge management may have real and valuable contribution to development of knowledge society. The paper analyses and compares different m-learning and mobile knowledge management introduction scenarios based on evidence found in the literature. Special emphasis is given to the examination of current practices as they are found in m-learning and mobile knowledge management, similarities and differences are identified. The article attempts to find critical success factors for sustainable deployment in both m-learning and mobile knowledge management.
