The UK-based NESTA FutureLab recently released an informative literature review of how mobile technologies can be effectively used to support student learning.
The report, compiled by researchers at the University of Birmingham, includes a discussion of key learning theories along with "real life" examples of web-based applications and mLearning related case studies.
Overall a very good report, and well worth taking the time to read. Moving forward, more and more learning, testing, and content will be delivered to meet the digital learning styles via the almost now ubiquitous mobile phone and other handheld devices.
