Abstract

Informal evidence supports an argument that using mobile devices for informal learning can be motivating. This paper will consider evidence from the literature in one particular area of mobile learning - informal science learning and also present a brief study of how people use mobile devices in their informal learning. Finally it will briefly review the motivaiton literature to consider this issue further.
