Abstract :
From notebook computers to mobile phones, wireless devices become popular in society and affordable for the majority of the society. With rapidly improving Internet capabilities, the demand of mobility is spread to learning purposes. Mobile learning combines individualized learning with anytime and anywhere learning. It is possible for mobile learners to find and learn what they want to at a pace and place that suit them. M-learning applications provide benefits for mobile learners such as utilizing their spare time while traveling in a train or bus to finish their homework or study. The cost-effectiveness of m-learning is also important. Traditional classroom-based learning has a higher cost comparatively.
