ABSTRACT
Learning can take many forms, such as formal, informal, and non-formal, and occur anytime and anywhere. This paper presents and analyzes a range of learning methodologies, such as mobile learning, micro learning, personal learning, challenge-based learning, collaborative learning, and ubiquitous learning. In addition, the purpose of higher educational institutions and use of emerging technologies are also discussed. A systematic literature review was conducted on several learning methodologies and frameworks currently available to academics today in order to meet the challenges of enhancing and cultivating innovative mobile learning in the 21st century. For analyzing the contextual framework of each methodology, the study draws upon a wide range of resources, such as journals, articles, books and online repositories. Based on the findings of this review, a theoretical framework and learning methodology for innovative mobile learning is proposed, along with suggestions on how it can be implemented into the overall learning experience.
