Security and privacy issues in mobile learning
by Zsolt Ugray
International Journal of Mobile Learning and Organisation (IJMLO), Vol. 3, No. 2, 2009

Abstract: The emergence of innovative uses of mobile and wireless devices in mobile learning (m-learning) go beyond the convenience of combining electronic learning applications with the mobility of portable devices. Technologies, protocols and policies that provide security and privacy in networked applications have to be augmented and adjusted to take into account the new uses and requirements of m-learning. This article reviews recent developments in m-learning with a focus on privacy and security issues. Developers of m-learning applications and organisations that deploy them have to understand the vulnerabilities and plan to address them early on in order to avoid potential exploitation efforts.
