Study on M-Learning Usage Among LIS Students With Special Reference to Alagappa University

Abstract

Mobile learning comprises any kind of learning which is done on mobile and handheld gadgets either in or out of class, or learning which takes place “on the go” as part of class time, or outside. Although mobile learning is often taken to be synonymous with the use of mobile phones, it is increasingly associated with other devices such as tablet computers, portable games machines, e-books, and other devices which allow people to continue more traditional approaches to learning as they move through their daily lives. As such, it fits comfortably into definitions of blended learning. Educators and trainers are empowered since they can use the mobile technology to communicate with learners from anywhere and at any time. At the same time, educators and trainers can access learning resources from anytime and anywhere to plan and deliver their lessons.
