Abstract	The aim of this study was to explore how purposeful educational design using mobile learning might enable integration of classroom and outside of classroom teaching and learning. It was based on a marine reserves learning experience at a primary school which connected with a marine science and conservation visitor centre. The researchers' partnership brought together a "bring your own device" (BYOD) primary school classroom teacher and a class of her senior students (Years 5-8), educators from the marine reserve visitor centre, a marine scientist, a learning design/technology team, and researchers experienced in science and sustainability education. This partnership constituted the REEF (Research into Ecoliteracy Enhancement Forum). The aim was to co-create and trial a mobile learning intervention that could enhance ecoliteracy for students and their parents. The study addressed the question: How can mobile learning be designed with education outside the classroom to enhance the ecological literacy of students and their parents? This question was addressed through four specific sub-questions: (1) What are the ecoliteracy outcomes for students in response to a teaching unit on marine reserves incorporating education outside the classroom (EOTC)? (2) How does the REEF work together to co-construct a framework for mobile learning in EOTC? (3) What elements and design principles does the REEF recommend for a framework for mobile learning to complement a teaching unit incorporating EOTC? and (4) How does an intervention informed by a mobile learning framework contribute to ecoliteracy and other outcomes for students and their parents?
