Paper Abstract:	Different approaches have been proposed on the use of digital and interactive technology in mobile learning contexts. In line with recent findings in the literature, we suggest that mobile learning systems benefit from an iterative design and development process within a holistic, socio-technical system view. This system view makes allowance for the complex dynamics between teachers, students, researchers, the multiplicity of contextual factors, and the specifications and requirements of the digital devices and applications, as well as their interrelations. Iterative design and development incorporates evaluation results of mobile learning scenarios that were designed according to system-based analyses. The school projects described in this paper, as well as their evaluation results, served as an integral part in creating a dynamic optimization process for the design and development of digital and interactive systems for mobile learning contexts in primary and secondary schools.
