Abstract
This preliminary study is conduct a survey to understand the expectations and elements of mobile learning education in rural area of China. After analysis the results from survey, a mobile learning model has been constructed. This model has considered the factors on mobile learning devices, the speed of internet service, the courses contents, the non-paper-based teaching materials, teacher or teacher’s teaching method, use of the mobile applications, and social networking. Therefore, the motivation of students might be brought up though this model to archive much higher academic results.
