Abstract
Mobile learning environments are human networks that afford learners the opportunity to participate in creative endeavors, social networking, organize and reorganize social contents, learner-created cognitive space, and manage social acts at anytime and anywhere through mobile technologies. Social interaction with mobile technology is very different from Face-to-Face, Computer Mediated Communication (CMC), or Web 2.0 networking technologies. Effective emerging mobile interaction focuses on social-context awareness by integrating location-based technology, which is unique to mobile technology, not easily found in other types of commuting. This chapter utilizes the Model of Mobile Social Interaction to understand effective mobile interaction.
