Abstract
Learning is interweaved into and across students’ everyday life activities.
Technology that is used to support learning should be integrated with everyday life in the
same way that learning occurs in everyday life: seamlessly. Mobile technologies, with
their reduced size and ease of use, provide the potential to extend students’ learning
spaces and enrich the learning experiences in their daily lives where they move between
locations, switch from one topic or context to another, and interact with different social
groups. This paper proposes mobile technology-supported seamless learning and presents
learning scenarios from our research to illustrate how learning occurs seamlessly across
time and places mediated by mobile devices.
