  The paper reports on an ongoing research project into the development of
"Mobile Academy", an Android-based mobile learning (mLearning) application
(app). The project comprises three major phases: requirement analysis,
application development and testing and evaluation. To satisfy the user
requirement analysis, a detailed ethnographic study was conducted to
investigate how people from different background use mobile devices for
learning purposes. The initial analysis and evaluation of the first version of
the projected app demonstrates very promising results. Making use of the app
seemed to have, in general, a positive dimension in facilitating educational
use of mobile devices.
