Introduction
I recently completed my Doctor of Technology degree with thesis topic: A Framework for Ad Hoc Mobile-Technology-Enhanced Learning in a Higher Education Context.
I am currently focused on academic productivity, delivering international conferences papers and submitting journal articles. Post-doc research topics emerged from my thesis are likely to include: mobile personal learning environments; digital differences and diversities in higher education contexts; and affordances and limitations of blended learning strategies.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to review mobility-oriented criteria that inform the on-the-move use of digital technology. It addresses aspects of mobile technology-enhancement learning and the perceived differences between mobile lecturers and mobile learners in a higher education (HE) context in an Architectural Technology domain.

Smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous in educational contexts, where students on-the-move access learning material via digital devices, on and off-campus. Successful m-learning experiences can be facilitated by mobile learning environments that are multi-facetted and effective, and that meets students’ versatile needs. This study synthesizes a com...

Higher education students use mobile phones, equipped for Internet access. Mobile technologies can offer effective, satisfying and accessible m-learning experiences. A contribution has been made to knowledge on evaluating m-learning environments and to mobile human-computer interaction (MHCI), with the innovative synthesis of the MUUX-E Framework,...
Smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous in educational contexts, where students on-the-move expect access to learning material via a range of digital devices in a mobile and transparent manner, whether on or off campus.

This paper, a meta-research study, focuses on design-based research (DBR), the educational technology variant of design science research (DSR). DBR is applied to develop and evaluate an m-learning environment, Mobile Learning Research (m-LR) delivered by mobile handheld devices. The emergence and evolution of DSR in the information systems discipli...
