Emerging technologies, such as the development of the Internet of Things and the transition to smart cities, and innovative handheld devices have led to big changes in many aspects of our lives, while more changes were imminent. Education is also a sector that has undergone huge changes due to the spreading of those devices. Even at the era of feature phones, it started to become clear that portable devices with access to the internet can be used for learning. The process of learning with the use of mobile phones was then in an early stage, due to the limitations of feature phones. Whereas, with the introduction of smartphones, education is expected to be drastically altered in the future, in most parts of the world. New, radical, and controversial in some cases, approaches have been developed, over the past years, in an effort to implement a mobile learning process in real life conditions. Intelligent tutoring systems have had rapid growth, especially in the COVID-19 era, while a significant increase in online courses via social networks has also been noted. This paper focuses on presenting the most important research parameters of m-learning during the last decade, while it also incorporates a novel empirical study in the domain. The utilization of educational data has been taken into consideration and is presented, aiming at ways to improve human interaction in the digital classroom.
新兴技术，如物联网的发展和向智慧城市的转型，以及创新的手持设备，已经在我们生活的许多方面带来了巨大变化，而且更多的变化即将到来。教育也是一个因这些设备的普及而发生了巨大变化的领域。即使在功能手机时代，人们也开始清楚地认识到，能够接入互联网的便携式设备可用于学习。然而，由于功能手机的局限性，当时利用手机进行学习的进程尚处于早期阶段。而随着智能手机的推出，预计在世界大部分地区，教育在未来将发生巨大改变。在过去几年里，人们开发了一些新的、激进的，在某些情况下甚至有争议的方法，以便在现实生活条件下实施移动学习过程。智能辅导系统发展迅速，尤其是在新冠疫情时代，同时通过社交网络提供的在线课程也显著增加。本文重点介绍过去十年中移动学习最重要的研究参数，同时还纳入了该领域的一项新的实证研究。文中考虑并介绍了教育数据的利用情况，旨在探讨改善数字课堂中人际互动的方法。
