Technology plays an increasingly important role in education because it enhances learning and teaching activities. Many studies have confirmed the fact that information technology tools, such as mobile devices, have multiplied and diversified the possibilities to carry out collaborative work. Moreover, it has increase motivation and improves the time distribution dedicated to learning activities. Mobile learning (M-learning) is a popular research topic that enables learners to access learning resources ubiquitously from anywhere and at any time using their mobile devices. It helps the process of evaluating student performance, making learning more efficient. Collaborative learning supports teamwork skills and facilitates the acquisition of specific knowledge.

However, only having a group of people around a task does not guarantee a real collaboration. It is necessary to structure activities to convey communication, cooperation, and collaboration. Meanwhile, evaluation is a very broad concept and that is why it is a must to state explicitly what elements or aspects must be considered to obtain and analyse significant information that support judgments of character on an object, phenomenon, process, or event as an aid for an eventual decision on itself. Understanding group dynamics and the collaborative process of decision making and learning in groups are both interesting research fields and the basis for new tools to support the findings. In the case of collaborative activities, performing a task well implies having the skills to execute the task and effectively collaborating with teammates. Understanding group dynamics and the collaborative process of decision making and learning in groups is invaluable for research fields and support findings using new tools. The relationship between new mobile technology and collaborative learning has become solid. Mobile learning supports collaborative learning due to learners can access information and learning materials from anywhere and at any time. However, supporting efficient mobile learning in education is a critical challenge. In addition, incorporating technological and educational components becomes a new and complex aspect that needs to be considered.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original research and review articles discussing the impact of mobile systems on the evaluation and design of collaborative learning. We welcome submissions mentioning how to enhance the learning activities. We particularly encourage research discussing collaborative learning between teachers and students in terms of knowledge and information transfer via an efficient collaborative mobile learning architecture based on mobile devices.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Improving collaboration using mobile devices
• Awareness in mobile mechanisms
• Designing collaborative learning processes
• Data analysis to improve collaborative learning processes
• Measuring and modelling collaboration processes
• Monitoring collaboration learning processes
• Technologies to improve collaborative learning processes
• Mobile devices supporting collaboration processes
