Mobile Learning (mLearning), having drawn a great deal of attention and application in the US and European countries, is just entering China's K-12 and higher education. Although the use of mobile devices in education is still in its infancy, there have been a few exemplary cases of successful use in schools. Several K-12 schools participated in a mobile inquiry program about birds; and several others use mobile devices for students and teachers to exchange short text-messaging. In higher education, leading institutions have attempted to create mobile virtual classrooms. The E-learning Lab of Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU), for instance, has successfully delivered sample broadcast of its online courses onto cell phones and PDAs. Here we report the mobile technological success of this Lab, and we describe learning settings that might benefit from mobile learning, including a college-level English course of about 50 campus and 30 online students.
