Abstract: This study examined the trend in articles published on mobile and ubiquitous learning from 2014 to 2015. Articles were drawn from Computers & Education, Computers in Human Behavior, Educational Technology and Society, Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Innovations in Education and Teaching International, British Journal of Educational Technology and Turkish Journal of Educational Technology. A total of 135 articles related to mobile and ubiquitous learning were published in the journals indicated above for the 2014/2015 period. The most frequently studied learning domain was science; empirical research method was used most often and majority of the studies were conducted in the USA. This study indicates that interest in mobile and ubiquitous learning has increased. The implication is that course instructors and designers should continue to integrate mobile and ubiquitous learning into their course delivery and design.

Keywords: trend analysis; mobile learning; m-learning; u-learning; ubiquitous learning; course instruction; information and communications technology; information technology; technological advances; technology-based learning; educational technology; learning domains; literature review.
