Abstract

Introduction: Although a great number of m-learning exploratory and pilot projects have been documented, we need to examine the extent to which m-learning has diffused amongst education institutions. In other fields, this is performed by surveys and systematic literature reviews of surveys. Methods: After establishing acceptable inclusion and exclusion criteria, this study performed a systematic literature review of surveys detailing the use of m-learning beyond pilot and project phase. Results: No results were usable. Discussion and Conclusion: The problems lie in the terminology of research (which is currently focused on the technology rather than m-learning) and the emphasis on research detailing innovations. There is also the possibility of overall lack of research and diffusion, but this is uncertain. The time has come for m-learning to establish itself as a fully-fledged field, and to begin to measure its diffusion, especially at institutional and national levels.
