Mobile learning, or m-learning, can be any educational interaction delivered through mobile technology and accessed at a student’s convenience from any location. The software that underlies m-learning includes not only mobile applications designed specifically for learning purposes, but also those designed for other uses—such as geo location, data access, readers, and maps—but that can be adapted for educational purposes. M-learning hardware may include mobile phones, handheld PCs, tablets, the iPad, and netbooks, as well as devices such as the iPod touch that are able to run mobile applications. Because m-learning utilizes a variety of devices, many of which are ubiquitous in the lives of students, it can foster student engagement and offer opportunities to make learning integral to daily life.

Mobile learning technologies offer teachers-and students-a more flexible approach to learning. Computer labs are great, but do your students use technology in the classroom, in the school garden, in the study hall, in the gym, and on field trips? With mobile learning devices, you can do all this, and more. 

It will really help the students as well as the teachers. Now a days, students are crazy for mobile phones. Therefore, it is a great way to let them learn on their own. Readability is in essence a reading list app, with many features similar to Apple’s reading list on Safari. As a commuter to university, I spend a significant proportion of my day without any internet connection, which makes this app perfect for me as it allows me to save web pages and journals into the phone’s memory when I’ve got 4G, and then read them back when I’ve got no signal. I like the way the app allows you to “favorite” your most important articles, perfect for when I’ve got a deadline coming up and I need to access certain articles quickly without trawling through all the ones I’ve saved for future weeks. The best bit is that this app isn’t just for university-related articles; I’ve begun saving my favorite blog posts on the app when I need a pick-me-up while writing essays. 


Virtual reality and mobile phone apps are playing a marvelous role in students life. Most of the students including my self found the mobile apps are very essential for learning.
