The ability to access this material on portable devices such as MP3 players can enable more mobile access to the material. Evans (2008) argues that the increasing demands on modern learners' time means that they are often forced to study when the opportunity arises, this may be on the bus, train or car, at evening or weekends or during lunch breaks. These demands bring with them the need for portable technologies that enable them to transport their learning materials to access when they can. This 'mobile learning', or m-learning for short, is used widely in distance learning programs because of the relative ease in which the digital resources can be produced (Bongey, Cizadlo & Kalnbach, 2006) and because they facilitate the needs of the learner and enhance their learning experience;
