Abstract

This paper centers on an account of the research foci of MSL according to my recent literature scan and analysis. 83 relevant papers published between 2006 and April 2013 were identified for analysis. However, it is not our intention to compile thick and intentionally accurate statistics, and subsequently offer purely data- driven interpretation of the state of the arts. Rather, w e are keen on qualitatively outlining and tracing the evolution of MSL research, particularly in how scholars perceive the roles of technology, pedagogy, learning spaces, and learners in the seamless learning practices. This paper will focus on (1) the (re- )scoping of seamless learning; and (2) the conceptual groundings in the past MSL research. Rise -above discussions on the trends will then ensue in order to provide a synoptic picture of how this line of studies have been advancing over the time. Through t he analysis, it is further affirmative that seamless learning is much more than a special form of any other learning method. It is a learning approach at its own right and with its own niche – with ‘ bridging of cross -space learning efforts' as its distinctive feature.
