Abstract
There are hot debates if e-learning and m-learning are the same thing. This is a dilemma only for those who were now participate in the m-learning learning material production. From technical perspective we might see this just as viewport constraint. But those constraints have high implication into the background thinking processes. Classical windows navigation cannot be used and if we want m-learning materials to be successful we need to pay special attention to the just-in-time learning. Much effort needs to apply to the context when and where information is searched and displayed to statistically predict following user requests. Only such materials that are successful in prediction of user´s actions are successful as learning materials and do not becomes “digital rubbish” on mobile device. The article is focused on the design of m-learning for Slovene language on level A1 and A2 which is of paramount importance for further motivation for language learning.
