ABSTRACT
This article presents a study carried out from a user-centered design (UCD) perspective to define mobile learning scenarios. Student user profiles were defined and personas created. There were 4 focus groups with 7 students. 7 in-depth interviews with commuting students were carried out. The information collected allowed for the definition of 2 potential scenarios for mobile learning. These 2 scenarios helped identify specific devices, functionalities and applications. They highlighted the enormous potential for m-learning by commuting students. These 2 scenarios can act as the basis for the design and development of new applications linked to m-learning.
