Mobile learning (m-learning) involves using mobile technologies and devices like smartphones and tablets to access educational content. Smartphones allow learning materials to be accessed anywhere and support activities like conducting research, taking notes, communicating with others, and accessing multimedia resources. In schools, colleges and universities, smartphones help with tasks like checking facts, taking photos/videos, reading ebooks, making presentations and communicating. In open schools and distance learning, smartphones support activities such as forming discussion groups, accessing ebooks and videos, self-assessment quizzes, and interacting with teachers and peers.
