The establishment and improvement of a new system of engineering education with Chinese characteristics is one of the important objectives in developing a new landscape architecture discipline. As an important compulsory course, The Landscape Architecture Practice Course is characterized by temporal and spatial heterogeneity and realistic context in its teaching. On the basis of the status quo and existing problems in the said course, this study puts forward the concept of Contextual Mobile Teaching and elaborates on the application of mobile information technologies such as Two-step (an outdoor sports app), Cat’s Eye Quadrant (a survey recording app) and Flower Companion (a plant recognition app) to the teaching in landscape inspection. With three stages, three guarantees and three goals, the contextual teaching mode is aimed at achieving the essential educational goal of gaining knowledge in action through outside-classroom learning while immersing in the real landscape. The findings of this study can hopefully inspire administrators and practitioners of landscape architecture education to promote the effective implementation of mobile learning, and can also serve as a reference for the development of outdoor practice courses in other disciplines.
