Objectives The goal of the paper is to research the educational options for a personalized, user sensitive mobile learning approach that may be employed “anytime and anyplace.” Mobile learning is usually applied to provide instructions for learning in the real context. The paper analyses how mobile terminals can be used to raise competency levels that can run the gamut from novice to expert Design and methods The Paper draws upon our experience in developing three m-learning objects that are flexible and may be adjusted to diverse learning levels and contexts. We studied the means by which competency levels could be upgraded for both explicit and tacit knowledge Results M-learning methods support upgrading of competence levels Conclusion M-learning objects offer invaluable assistance to meet everyday needs as well as for vocational training. The new m-learning technology is closely related to the development of student centred learning as a part of education for sustainable development of human resources.
