As mobile devices are gradually converging into Individual Information Centres, mobile learning becomes a viable learning channel that would fit the living style of today. IJMLO is a refereed, multidisciplinary journal for bridging the latest advances in mobile learning and organisation. It provides a global forum for presenting authoritative references, academically rigorous research and case studies. The journal publishes well-written and academically validated manuscripts in both theoretical development and applied research.
Topics covered include
- Globalisation of mobile learning, mobile life
- Lifelong learning, changing demographics, m-based Chinese learning
- Ubiquitous/pervasive learning, assessment, authentication, trust, security
- Asynchronous/asynchronous m-learning/coaching/training
- Collaborative GDSS, virtual workplace collaboration, virtual communities/universities
- Pedagogy/design methodology, time modularisation/management
- Decomposability/modular design of course contents
- Learning management/content management systems, m-learning efficacy/effect
- Learning/knowledge creation/strategy/methodologies, emerging technologies
- Value-based m-learning in commerce, integrated m-marketing communication
- Managing sustainable change/learning, innovative case studies

- Corporate universities, new approaches/models to m-learning content diffusion
- Technologies/standards for developing tools, creating learning communities
- Ethical/copyright/cross-culture issues, problems/challenges
Objectives
With constant connectivity and the volume of information new mobile devices can deliver, mobile learning will shape the new landscape for organisational training and life-long learning as well as impromptu information gathering for problem solving. IJMLO intends to establish an effective communication channel among decision makers and policy makers in business, government agencies, and academic and research institutions which recognise the important role mobile learning may play in organisations. Specifically, IJMLO aims to be an outlet for creative, innovative concepts, as well as effective research methodologies and emerging technologies.
Readership
IJMLO intends to attract professionals in business, government and technology fields to share their insight in new technologies and new applications. It will also attract researchers in the academia who work in the field of technology management, engineering and business education to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.

Apps double up elementary language learning
10 July, 2023
New insights into the design and development of mobile language learning applications for elementary school children learning two languages are discussed in a paper in the International Journal of Mobile Learning and Organisation. Athip Thumvichit, Watcharapol Wiboolyasarin, Singhanat Nomnian, Narongdej Phanthaphoommee, and Koraya Techawongstien of the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia at Mahidol University in Salaya, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, have identified various important factors for developing mobile language learning applications. The research involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of interview responses from more than a thousand working teachers. The results shed light on how such applications might be better structured and designed for the future. The five key factors identified were: application attribute, lesson content, immersive environment, learning strategy, and instructional use [...]
