A learner‐centric view of mobile seamless learning

Seamless learning mediated by 1:1 setting is referred to as mobile seamless learning (MSL). Wong and Looi conducted a literature review and distilled 10 salient features/dimensions that characterize what seamlessness in the MSL environment. Taking the view of personal learning environment for mobile learning, a learner-centric diagram is derived to visualize the relationships among the dimensions. This diagram is learner-centric in the sense that it represents a model of MSL ecology not from the perspective of MSL designers or facilitators but of an individual seamless learner instead. Under the multidimensional learning spaces, a learner may use multiple devices (MSL7) to mediate all her MSL endeavors. Two external inputs, MSL5 (ubiquitous access to learning resources) and MSL10 (multiple pedagogical/learning activity models), serve for initiating or enhancing the learner's specific learning tasks, are accessed by the learner through the formal learning space and the digital world respectively.
