Abstract :
New technologies in education have accelerated access to information, improved the relationship between learners and to some extent, contributed to the sharing of knowledge and experience. The combination of such developments with the rapid technological innovations in the field of mobile devices highlights the need for these devices to be utilized properly, while studying their pedagogical/ educational perspective. In spite of offering restricted options for creating courses for mobile devices, in this paper, CourseLab (Authoring and Design Tool - ADT) was used appropriately to create such courses. Finally, a course is designed and implemented in the field of language learning (English language), appropriate for disposal through mobile and wireless devices.
