This paper presents the design and implementation of a mobile learning platform developed at the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology. The platform, named mLearn, aims at providing educators with the tools to organize and conduct educational field trips either outdoors (cities, sites etc.) or indoors (e.g. museums). The system consists of a web portal and a mobile application. During the preparatory stage of the educational field trip, the teachers can upload their relevant educational material through the web portal. During the field trip, the students will have access to these educational resources on-site via the mobile application. For each field trip, the uploaded educational material is catalogued and stored on a server, and will be openly available to the public so that it can be reused in other educational field trips by other teachers and students.
