Abstract

This chapter focuses on distraction at mobile learning environments from different perspectives. It is hoped that this chapter will contribute to the academic discussion on this topic by exploring whether the term ‘distraction' accurately describes learners' tendencies to leave the formal, standard, or prescribed content and access the non-standard applications and websites during the academic attempts. This chapter will also introduce a more in-depth discussion on the root causes that drive learners' deviation to the non-standard applications and websites. Furthermore, it will propose and discuss some emerging arguments such as converting ‘learning distractions' into ‘learning attractions' in a way that might enhance the academic discussion on theory and practice of mobile learning research. Finally, it will introduce three effective techniques and strategies that have the potential to control distractions in mobile learning environments.
