The paper aims to present current research on mobile learning activities in Lithuania while implementing flagship EUfunded CCL project on application of tablet computers in education. In the paper, the quality of modern mobile learning activities based on learning personalisation, problem solving, collaboration, and flipped class methods is compared against the quality of traditional, mostly face-to-face learning activities based mainly on knowledge transmission. Research was twofold – on the one hand, the results of online questionnaire of teachers and students participated in the first cycle of CCL pilots in Lithuania were analysed, and on the other – expert evaluation method was used. A special attention is paid to suitability of learning activities to particular students learning styles. Presented approach on learning activities quality evaluation and optimisation problems could help educational institutions to select suitable mobile activities for particular learning styles.
