Mobile Learning involves the use of mobile technology, either alone or in combination
with other information and communication technology (ICT), to enable learning
anytime and anywhere.
Learning
can unfold in a variety of ways: people can use mobile devices to access
educational resources, connect with others, or create content, both inside and
outside classrooms.
Mobile
learning also encompasses efforts to support broad educational goals such as
the effective administration of school systems and improved communication
between schools and families.
Encourage ‘anywhere, anytime’ learning
Mobile devices allow students to gather,
access, and process information outside the classroom. They can encourage
learning in a real-world context, and help bridge school, after school, and
home environments.
Reach underserved children
Because of their relatively low cost and
accessibility in low-income communities, handheld devices can help advance
digital equity, reaching and inspiring populations ‘at the edges’ – children
from economically disadvantaged communities and those from developing
countries.
Improve twenty-first century social interactions
Mobile technologies have the power to promote
and foster collaboration and communication, which are deemed essential for
twenty-first century success.
