“M-learning is the intersection of mobile computing and e-learning, that includes anytime, anywhere resources; strong search capabilities; rich interaction; powerful support for effective learning; and performance-based assessment.” – Clark Quinn

As smartphones, tablets and other connected devices are becoming more and more popular and affordable, wireless technology can dramatically change the way of learning and can do eye blinking improvement in the education system. E-learning is a way to provide new updates, giving knowledge to a student without any limitations, anywhere.

But the sad part is it is not possible for every student to get computer and a high speed internet access, and it is even not affordable for all schools to provide a personal computer for every student. However, due to the revolutionary change in the industry of mobile apps design companies USA and all over the world, the mobile phones have become affordable even for a normal man and even easy to use for them as many mobile apps development companies Nyc, Washington etc. are bringing educational apps with innovative ideas to the market.

First, let’s understand what is m-learning:

Use of portable devices (e.g. e-Readers, tablets, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and smartphones) which make use of the internet (i.e. SIM-enabled or Wi-Fi, etc.) for learning, as stated by Mobile Education Landscape Report.

Role of Mobile Technology in Education

Technology-rich learning activities will help more effectively in promoting education and will increase the interest of students to search, to get knowledge over the internet. Mobile technology is the leading technology now days, subsequently each and every person is having mobiles on their hands, and students are also very comfortable to use apps. In education, mobile apps or even games can also play an important role to attract students.

By leveraging technology from the early stages of the learning, we can make students tech-savvy, and in the future, the country can get more knowledgeable engineers, scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs. Mobile learning is having the capability to make it possible to reach to the students by crossing the boundaries of classrooms and schools.

Lesli Rotenberg, senior vice-president of Children’s Media at PBS, says

“Mobile apps can be a great learning tool in the hands of children. This research is important in helping to better understand and guide the development of new apps that improve the value of children’s screen time with significant educational outcomes”.
