Mobile learning and mobile social interaction

Abstract

Mobile learning environments are human networks that afford learners the opportunity to participate in creative endeavors, social networking, organize and reorganize social contents, learner-created cognitive spaces (Cornelius & Marston, 2009), and manage social acts at anytime and anywhere through mobile technologies. Social acts that elicit identities, develop awareness (Kekwaletswe, 2007), cement relationships, ensure connections, and promote interactions between and among learners are necessary for interactive learning.
