Abstract
The launch of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning is one of several indicators that
mobile learning globally is reaching a critical and sustainable momentum and identity. The past six or seven
years have seen a host of pilots and initiatives across sectors and across countries and these have established
firstly that mobile learning takes learning to individuals, communities and countries where access to learning was challenging or problematic and secondly that mobile learning enhances, enriches and extends how
learning is understood. Environmental factors have meant that this development has been haphazard. The
mobile learning community is now faced with broader challenges of scale, durability, equity, embedding
and blending in addition to the earlier and more specific challenges of pedagogy and technology, but these
developments take place in the context of societies where mobile devices, systems and technologies have
a far wider impact than just mobile learning as it is currently conceived. This paper looks at the definition
and evolution of mobile learning as the starting point for a discussion of this wider impact.
