There has been an huge increase in interest in the use of mobile learning (m-learning) technologies for teaching and learning in the VET system over the past few years.

From an e-standards perspective, mobile learning (m-learning) can be defined as learning that is facilitated and enhanced by the use of digital mobile devices that can be carried and used anywhere and anytime, such as mobile phones and PDAs . The VET M-learning Guide provides more information.

Most general principals and recommendations for e-learning content development found on the E-standards website are applicable to m-learning content also. However, m-learning has some unique challenges, with devices containing reduced screen sizes, lacking in standard input devices (such as a mouse and keyboard) and reduced computing power.
