Mobile learning technology: a theoretical study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to build a knowledge system in which the features, environment, characteristics, features and benefits of mobile learning technology become clear. Studies have unanimously agreed that mobile learning is an educational learning system that combines similar and dissimilar elements with e-learning, and is mainly based on wired and wireless communications, so that the learner can freely access educational materials, lectures, and seminars at any time and place, outside the classroom, and this in turn creates a learning environment. New within the framework of educational situations, based on participatory and interactive learning, and the ease of exchanging information between the learners themselves on the one hand and the lecturer on the other hand.

It turns out that mobile learning technologies consist of the iPod touch, the Mp3 player, the personal digital assistant, the USB drive, the E-BOOK Reader, the Smart phone, the regular cellular phone, and the Ultra-mobile personal computer. General packet radio services (GPRS), communications, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, laptop tablet, scanning pens, storage media, and mobile publisher.

It appeared that the challenges facing ways to implement mobile learning in education revolve around security techniques and protection of educational content, the availability of devices, their storage and frequency capacity, their degree of endurance, and challenges.
Educational related to the preparation of educational curricula, individual differences between students, the low level of culture, experience, and skill of some teachers and students in dealing seriously with modern technology, the high financial cost of inputs for this type of learning, and the absence of integrated educational strategies that ensure moving in the footsteps of mobile learning. The study concluded by emphasizing the importance of reconsidering the inputs to the teaching process and its implementation procedures, in order to comprehend the concepts of the cognitive, electronic, and technological revolution, and community mobilization, to achieve the requirements of the current stage, and to move along the path of modernity, development, and change.
