Assessing Effectiveness in Mobile Learning by Devising MLUAT (Mobile Learning Usability Attribute Testing) Methodology

Mobile learning has been investigated from a range of perspectives, but there are little published research studies on usability of m-learning and its efficiency. Therefore investigated and analyzed the feasibility of m-learning by doing a review of published research in the past decade (2000-2010) analyzing successful m-learning projects and m-learning in general as well as realized analyses of advantages, the pitfalls and issues found. Based on this analyses provided are recommendations for improving m-learning in general. To have successful and efficient m-learning it is essential to devise and implement appropriate usability testing methodologies to evaluate the usability of mobile applications.
