Summary/Abstract: The emergence of mobile technology provides people alternatives not only in interpersonal communication and Internet access, but also in learning and teaching. The fast growth of new generation of mobile devices as well as the frequent use of wireless technology has capitalized the great potential of mobile learning in becoming an effective tool for education. Mobile learning technologies offer teachers and students a more flexible approach to learning. Mobile devices have greater functionality, giving teachers the opportunity to provide contextualized and personalized learning resources, unrestricted by spatial and temporal constraints and allowing learners to use readilyavailable, handheld computing devices and communication technology to access information from anywhere and at anytime.
