“…It was found that they students did not perceived mobile phones to be useful for learning. Another study by Nordin, Hamzah, Yunus, and Embi (2010) also found that the student teachers were not interested to see m-learning as a part of schools' curriculum. Moreover, the respondents in the study also were also skeptical on allowing students to bring mobile phones to schools.…”

This study examined the teachers' perceptions on the implementation of mobile learning via mobile phone at schools. The sample for this study comprised thirty eight teachers who were teaching Information Technology (IT) subjects from various primary schools in Penang, Malaysia. A quantitative survey was administered to the respondents whereby results indicated that the adoption of mobile learning via mobile phone at schools was not perceived well among respondents. Moreover, respondents also were quite skeptical about future of mobile learning should it be implemented at their schools. The article concludes with emerging concerns which may have implications for future studies, specifically on whether or not mobile phone can effectively be adopted as teaching and learning tools for Malaysian mainstream schooling.

“…Some challenges and limitations such as too small screens of mobile phones to view course contents and course video recordings, connecting to the internet in places with limited signals and the high prices of mobile wireless connection caused them to suffer from different problems during the use of m-learning. These challenges and limitations were observed in the mobile learning application process designed by Nordin et al [6]. It is found that m-learning should be used as supportive to e-learning as it won't be sufficient in distance education process.…”

“…Studies reveal that in order to overcome the limitations of e-learning such as using them only in contexts where there are computers and internet connection, causing learners to feel isolated and to have motivational problems and being incapable of providing instant message, m-learning applications have the advantages. Some of them are providing the opportunity to study without the limitation of time and place, using instant communication devices like SMS and MMS and having motivational impact [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].…”

It should not be disregarded that e-learning applications have some limitations although they provide many opportunities to people who have different expectations and characteristics and who want to make use of educational opportunities. When the limitations of e-learning and the advantages of m-learning applications which these limitations provide are considered together, they may serve more effective learning contexts for individuals. In this study, an m-learning application was developed to assist elearning and it was supplied for learners who attend distance education to use. As a result of the study, it was provided for learners to attend educational events without real time and place limitation in reality via using m-learning as an assistant for e-learning. Furthermore, learners were provided to be informed about course cancellations, assignment deadlines, exam dates, the announcement by school administration immediately, and so on. As a result of the study, learners' views for this application were taken into consideration and it was stated that m-learning application was effective for learners in education at anytime and anywhere.

“…The analysis of results of evaluation confirms that the mobile learning system FLAGMAN is technical feasible, didactic effective, cost effective and user friendly. Another analysis done by Nordin and others [15] yields positive results and reveals that adult learners accept m-learning approach. The study also reveals that mLearning activities are great ways to motivate students and foster interaction among them.…”

With the rapid development of mobile computing technologies, a new style of learning, termed as -mobile learning‖, has exploded everywhere in the world. This is now considered as an essential learning style in the future. This paper presents the framework of a contextual mobile learning system taking into account the learning environment at Saudi Arabian universities. With the help of this system, the students can learn just in time in their daily lives whenever they need to learn; using mobile computing devices like Tablet PCs and Smart Phones. The main principles and the essential components such as functional modules and context databases are presented. The mobile learning framework has been validated by an interview based qualitative method.
