Abstract
This investigation determined some of the better strategies for delivering educational resources to mobile devices from the digital reading room (DRR) and the Athabasca University (AU) library catalogue using AirPac, making recommendations on the implementation of Mlearning as part of the AU e-learning strategy. The primary research question addressed in this short paper is: what are the limitations and difficulties in delivering course materials to mobile devices.
