Abstract :
During the last years m-learning has attracted the attention of technology-enhanced learning community mainly as a side effect of the growth of the mobile communications industry. While the educational added-value of m-learning is under investigation, technological efforts are much needed to align m-learning technologies with the current state-of-the-art specifications in TeL. Within this context, in this paper, we present initial evaluation results from the use of the SMILE PDA learning design player, an open source software implementation for executing IMS learning design activities via mobile devices.
