Abstract

The prevalence of high-performance mobile devices has enhanced the potential of mobile learning initiatives. There has been substantial technology-driven research on mobile learning. This ubiquitous learning project using lifelogging technology is among them. Since 2010, work has been undertaken to develop a system called SCROLL (System for Capturing and Reminding of Learning Log). It is still an ongoing project with new functions being added to the system. It has been used in various language learning settings in Japan. The aim of this chapter is to describe past and current research endeavours using SCROLL in various learning environments such as seamless learning and flipped learning. The past studies show that the system is effective for learners with their vocabulary learning; it contributes to linking in-class learning with outside-of-class learning, to boosting outside-of-class learning and to enhancing learners’ learning opportunities.
