Contributions are invited to a special issue of the International Journal
of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM) conforming to the theme of
Adaptive Approaches to Mobile Learning. The exponential growth of wireless
technology in recent years, increasing availability of high bandwidth
network infrastructures, advances in mobile technologies and the
popularity of handheld devices have opened up new accessibility
opportunities for education. The true potential of e-learning as "anytime,
anywhere" has finally begun to be realized in the form of m-learning, not
only for those with disabilities or those living in remote communities,
but also for those who have been attending traditional academia but could
benefit from improved collaboration possibilities, situated learning
opportunities and contextual learning.

Adaptive scenarios such as the use of multimedia-rich content, design of
appropriate learning tasks, and use of collaborative paradigm, have
potential to take mobile learning to a level where it can deliver
education, at a higher quality than is presently available in a classroom
environment, surpassing that by incorporating contextual problem scenarios
from learners' working and social environments, thereby, enabling
collaborative problem-solving in authentic environmental contexts, such as
problem themes based on the real entities in the learners' immediate
environment.

This special issue aims to focus on the emerging and innovative design,
development and implementation of adaptive approaches to mobile learning.
This special issue is intended to collate realisable ideas, inspirations,
as well as outreach approaches which have been implemented and tested in
mobile environment. Examples of topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
