Laouris and Eteokleous (2005) have reiterated the need for a definition of mobile learning that takes into account all
the aspects of the mobile learning process Nyir (2002) has also contributed to a philosophy of mobile learning that
relies on Dewey’s insights into democracy and education. Nyir and his contemporaries argue that mobile devices are
responsible for undermining and, in many cases, eliminating the fixity of traditional classrooms such as lecture halls,
laboratories and all the paraphernalia of traditional education. For decades, these traditional spaces have depended on
static models of communication and devices for subject delivery. Significantly, mobile devices are revolutionary
because they transcend the boundaries of the structural stasis of classrooms and lecture halls and their associated
modes of communication – they do not have to be confined to one particular place in order to be effective.
