Kinshuk; Jesse, Ryan – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
E-learning technologies have allowed authoring and playback of standardized reusable learning objects (RLO) for several years. Effective mobile learning requires similar functionality at both design time and runtime. Mobile devices can play RLO using applications like SMILE, mobile access to a learning management system (LMS), or other systems…

Kinshuk; Liu, Tzu-Chien; Graf, Sabine – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
Although learning styles are considered as an important factor in education, students often have to learn in courses that do not support their learning styles. A challenge for technology facilitated learning is therefore to assist and help students to cope with courses that do not match their learning styles by training and developing their less…
