"MOBILE LEARNING: A COMPARATIVE STUDY FOR THE FUTURE OF BLENDED LEARNING"
Abstract: “As the use of ICT in higher education matured, mobile technologies emerged as a new mode of flexible learning. Mobile learning opened up exciting learning experiences and challenges as well. In spite of the highly laudatory exposition of research in m-learning, as the literature in the field investigated the students’ interaction with various social networks both formally and informally, it investigated the application of learning principles in mobile learning,… little has been done in terms of evaluating the development of this new model of learning that is constantly on the move. This paper intends to gauge the proliferation of the m-learning through impartial data-based findings of a survey conducted upon a large cohort of Arab Open University students of Kuwait Branch and through previous recent studies in the domain.”
