A REVIEW OF M-LEARNING MODELS

In the most recent times, mobile visitors form the fastest growing Web community. The ease with which web pages or information is retrievedfrom the Web using PDAs or cell phones is a result of the rapid development in wireless technologies like GPRS, EDGE, etc. Also thedevelopment of educational technologies tends to be more mobile, portable and personalized. This development is quickly changing thetraditional classroom learning to the electronic learning (E-learning). Mobile Learning (M-Learning), an extension of e-learning is based on theuse of mobile devices such as cell phones, PDAs, smart phones, notebooks, etc over wireless networks to provide interaction between learnersand teachers ‘anywhere and anytime’. Much of the interest so far in m-learning has been focused on development of tools for teacheradministration, classroom management, quizzes and note-taking. This paper presents an evaluation of some M-learning models developed in anattempt to formulate a standard for future m-learning systems
