Abstract

Mobile learning is not a concept anymore, learning and getting education has transcended the traditional physical barriers. Many mobile learning applications are developed based on different theories of learning. Both learner and teachers are excited to adopt this promising technology. Mobile phones and other hand held technologies improved significantly, emerging and evolving rapidly. Modern mobile devices are equipped with advanced features, multiple interfaces and synchronization capabilities. However the technology growth may not necessary complies with what the educational sector needs as it is not the core focus of mobile technology. On other hand new courses and disciplines are also not fully compatible with the mobile functionalities and features. This research is intended to review the existing computer studies Ontario Curriculum for High School students and the mobile functions that devices in the market have to find the relations between learning topics and hand held devices' functionalities. The results analysed and the mobile learning modes found in this research as well as the proposed recommender system, hence, can provide not only users but also course authors great help when the users make decisions of taking courses and purchasing new devices in order to do further learning as well as when the authors take different learning methods into consideration in designing learning activities.
