M-learning :
M-learning or mobile learning is defined as "learning across multiple contexts, through social and content interactions, using personal electronic devices. A form of distance education, m-learners use mobile device educational technology at their time convenience.
M-learning technologies include hand held computers, MP3 players,
notebooks, mobile phones and tablets. M-learning focuses on the
mobility of the learner, interacting with portable technologies. Using
mobile tools for creating learning aids and materials becomes an
important part of informal learning.
M-learning is convenient in that it is accessible from virtually
anywhere. Sharing is almost instantaneous among everyone using the same
content, which leads to the reception of instant feedback and tips. This
highly active process has proven to increase exam scores from the
fiftieth to the seventieth percentile, and cut the dropout rate in
technical fields by 22 percent. M-learning also brings strong portability by replacing books and notes with small devices.
