Paper Abstract:      A key assumption of mobile learning is that its built-in experiences will be enjoyable and proactive, empowering the user with the knowledge and ability to self-manage. This implies that the benefits and critical success factors of mobile learning are not based on learning performance alone. To empirically demonstrate this premise, we report on the flow experience of three different learning spaces, where learners explore a building environment as part of a simulated security guard education program. Our results showed that mobile learning would not significantly enhance learning performance, but nevertheless could provide a better learning experience in terms of attention, curiosity and playfulness. These results can help us to clarify the benefits of mobile learning, and also imply some issues that need to be addressed in the development of mobile learning systems.
