This current review seeks to better understand how relevant teaching practices, methods and pedagogy are used with handheld devices and how these can support or enhance learning. It is based on evidence gathered from partners and contacts, from country and EU sources, and from a detailed review of a specifically selected number of published papers from 2008 until 2013. As a whole, this report offers a short snapshot, to give background information for the MLEARN project, pointing out future avenues for training development and research. The reports seeks to contextualise teacher training development of mobile learning in terms of current research and practice, considering both mobile learning and information and communication technology (ICT), particularly with regard to deployment and practices of teacher training in each partner country (Italy, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom - England).
