MOBILE LEARNING AND EDUCATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE: A JALANDHAR BASED STUDY
Keywords:
Mobile Learning, Technology, Digital Education
Abstract
Technology is turning the old learning techniques into new one in dramatic pace, resulting new dimensions of learning and personal growth. As technology is becoming mainstream, the learning efficiency will increase, and the training cost reduces. Mobile phones have completely dominated our lives from communication and entertainment to socializing and learning. Mobile learning comes up with a sound approach to address a number of long- standing educational issues. The emerging technologies and tools have paved the way for learning that can harness the power, speed, and ubiquity of digital capability. Learning through digital means adds up to a personalized, transformed, and accelerated learning experience that gives learner power to be in the driver’s seat. In today’s context, m-learning is considered the latest type of learning introduced as a result of this technological revolution, in which new learning options are provided through mobile applications and access to internet. Mobile learning is a trend in education that is redefining the manner in which learn takes place and instruction is delivered. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether mobile devices are currently used to enhance or support learning in a post-graduate level. A survey has been conducted among university students to gather their response about m- learning.
