The document discusses the emergence of mobile learning and its advantages. It defines mobile learning as education that can be accessed anywhere, anytime through portable wireless devices. Mobile learning offers the opportunity to use active learning strategies and learn in one's own context. It allows for learning across geographical and financial constraints. The future of mobile learning is expected to be more ubiquitous with smart systems everywhere and virtual capabilities.

2. Emergence of Mobile Learning
In this fast changing world, different stakeholders will have to work
together to develop new educational models to cater for new
generations of learners who will be using mobile technologies that do
not exist as yet. The current educational model is outdated because it
was developed before the advent of information and communication
technologies. The current model, based on classroom-based face-to-
face delivery, is geared towards educating a certain segment of the
population. Educators need to re-conceptualize education and make
the shift from traditional model to model.

3. Triple A model
( Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere)
Meet students where they are
Mobile learning through the use of wireless portable
technology which allows anyone to access information
and learning material at anytime from anywhere across
the globe. It cater the need of those learner who face
the geographical constraints and could not afford to
leave their places due to financial and family
constraints.

4. Mobile Learning
Mobile learning can transform pedagogy to cater for new
generations of learners because it offers the opportunity to
use active learning strategies and for learners to learn in their
own context. Mobile learning (m-learning) is education via
the Internet or network using personal mobile devices, such
as tablets, notepad, smartphones to obtain learning
materials through mobile apps, social interactions and online
educational hubs. It may be defined as e-learning with
wireless portable devices.

5. Mobile learning comprises of two
words i.e. mobile and learning. Mobile
means which can move easily.
Mobile learning is the way of attaining
knowledge and modify the behaviour
of learners through wireless
technological devices such as handheld
computers like palmtop, tablets,
notepad and smartphones with
combining internet connectivity.

6. Definition of Mobile Learning
According to (MOBIlearn., 2003) “Mobile learning is any sort
of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed,
predetermined location, or learning that happens when the
learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered
by mobile technologies"
In other words, with the use of mobile devices, learners can
learn anywhere and at any time (Crescente and Lee, 2011).
Mobile learning is considered to be the ability to use mobile
devices to support teaching and learning.

8. Features of M- Learning
Allowing students access to education anywhere, anytime.
Students use mobile apps and tools to complete and upload
assignments to teachers, download course instruction and
work in online social groups to complete tasks.The use of
mobile technology allows for cloud teaching where access to
people, resources and information will float freely regardless
of location (Sutch, 2010). Learners in different time zones
and locations will be able to access tutors when needed.

10. Advantages of Mobile Learning
• Easy access to available OER(open educational resources)
• Students from different cultures express themselves more
readily compared to face-to-face situations through Mobile
technology
• To develop communities of learners, where learners can
tutor and help each other in the learning process, thus
resulting in high-level learning.

12. Future of Mobile Learning
The next generation of mobile learning will be more
ubiquitous; there will be smart systems everywhere
that learners can learn from. Learners will learn from
multiple sources rather than using one device. Also, the
next generation of mobile technology will be virtual,
with virtual input and output capabilities.
