It is noteworthy that collaborative teamwork is still new and emerging in Chinese universities comparing to higher-educational classrooms in western countries. Team-based mobile learning is deemed an essential way to improve students’ learning in this interactive environment. This paper therefore introduces a new model for structuring team-based mobile learning in college classes. This Team-based Mobile Learning (TBML), ties together the multifaceted elements involved in the success of a mobile learning (mLearning) innovation in an interactive learning environment. In the TBML model, mobile learning is integrated into formal classroom teaching, so that it can support students with both their individual learning goal and performance goal when carrying out their teamwork.

Introduction With the widespread use of mobile technologies, mobile learning is changing the educational environment by offering learners the opportunity to engage in asynchronous, ubiquitous instruction [1]. Featured with portability, immediacy, connectivity, ubiquity and adaptability, mobile learning enables collaboration among learners, improve interaction and communication between teachers and students [2], and facilitates access to learning anytime and anywhere by connectivity and employ of multiple apps for educational purposes [3]. Despite the great advantages of mobile learning, there is criticism about the distraction and overwhelming use of the mobile technology in the education. This paper introduces a framework for team-based learning in an interactive learning environment, which aims to promote active learning and participation by integrating team-based projects in mobile learning. 1Corresponding Author: Minjuan Wang: Professor, San Diego State University, 92182, 5500 Campanile Dr., San Diego, CA, USA; E-mail: mwang@sdsu.edu Intelligent Environments 2019 A.
