The five articles that make up this issue fit in well with its theme: Learning while mobile. As described by Sharples, Taylor, and Vavoula (2007), learning while mobile takes into consideration such well-documented aspects of mobile learning as the mobility of the technology and the learner, but it goes a step further by looking at the constant mobility of our society as a whole. It considers learning as personalized, learner-centered, situated in time and space, collaborative, ubiquitous, and lifelong. It sees learning as happening across contexts, people, and digital tools that are both mobile and static. It focuses not on learners and technologies, but on the interactions among them, emphasizing that learning is a social process.
