Collaborative learning encourages students to create groups and work together to solve a given problem. There are several benefits to the learners when working in a group setting: These include developing social skills, learn from peers, building trust, engaging in learning and gaining confidence. A majority of students, 64.1 %, prefer to communicate and to collaborate with the other learners during the Mobile learning process, because they feel like they learn better with someone else rather than on their own and enjoy sharing ideas and hearing others. However, 35.9 % of them do not prefer to communicate with the other learners during because some of them work on their own better then working on groups. Question 4: During the mobile technology facilitated learning, which communication technology do you prefer to use to communicate with them? Figure 4. The favorite communication technology for students The results reveal that the students prefer to communicate with the other learners via the social media (56.3%) such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and Flickr, students can communicate with their classmates and potentially with others outside the class such as students of the same topic and subject experts. Also they prefer to communicate with each other via email (39.1%) because it’s fast, efficient, inexpensive and professional. They also state that would rather to use SMS (37.5%) as a communication tool especially when there is no internet connection. Finally the percentage of using video conference and video chat room is 23.4%. Question 5: What do you think about using your personal preferences to personalise the learning content? When it comes to learning, we all have preferences that are influenced by the ways in which we think - our personalities, our backgrounds and our culture. Scientists and psychologists have developed a number of different models for the learning style theory. One popular theory is, the VARK model [7], which identifies learners as four primary types: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing Preference and Kinesthetic K.Chouchaneetal. /Context inMobileLearning: ThePointofViewof theLearners284
