Abstract

Mobile learning is gaining popularity as it modifies the conventional definition of teaching and learning by using portable devices. In order to cope with identified limitations of mobile learning, while maintaining its transformational potential of using mobile technology in higher education, we proposed a blended mobile learning environment. In this study, we described the mobile blended learning environment and examined its applicability in theatre arts classrooms by presenting and discussing how mobile devices were used in three blended theatre arts classes at a comprehensive university in Macau. Survey and interview data showed that though challenges exist, the fusion of the multichannel teaching approach (m-learning, blended learning, in class/online lectures) has greatly enhanced teaching and learning experiences.
