N2 - Mobile learning (m-learning) is a term used to describe how students use mobile technologies to access learning materials, often in non-traditional educational settings. m-learning increases personalization of the learning experience. This paper describes a survey conducted with Irish technical communication students about their use of mobile technologies to access learning materials available through the university virtual learning environment (VLE). The findings indicate that many students use mobile technologies to access learning materials and to participate in learning, perhaps not always in ways that educators are aware of or understand. Respondents are positive about the increased access, convenience and flexibility afforded by mobile technologies.
