I saw this image in a post by Juan Farnos and tracked it back to its source in this article on varieties of mobile activities analyzed through six dimensions of student agency (which in turn is a meta-study reviewing a number of earlier studies). You have to look closely, but each agency is characterized by two section, more (+) and less (-). The article was a reference in this workshop presentation on learner agency in inquiry-based learning activities (and so I guess it goes without saying that most mobile learning activities will be inquiry-base, right?). This is all good stuff, which is why I wanted to dig through the sources. "The dimensions consisted of 1) learners' control over the goals, 2) learners' control over the content, 3) learners' control over the actions, 4) learners' control over the strategies, 5) learners' opportunities for reflection and 6) learners' opportunities for monitoring their own learning progress."
