The field of m-learning is constantly evolving and both previous and current research studies try to shed light on
the features and attributes of mobile learning, while developing a consensual definition and framework that properly
incorporate the shifting nature of new technologies, learner's mobility, and the unique opportunities it may offer to
formal education environments (Traxler, 2007, 2010; Guy, 2010; Farley, Murphy & Rees, 2012). According to
Farley, Murphy & Rees an operational definition may be achieved if there is "sufficient understanding of the
characteristics and affordances attributed to the term". Therefore, in an attempt to better label mobile learning in all
of its variety, the authors are developing a new way of defining it, looking for a more comprehensive definition, a
dynamic one, "drawing from a collection of characteristics that may change over time" (Farley, Murphy & Rees,
2012).
