Abstract—As mobile devices have become a part of our
everyday life, there is a lot of research going on how to make
this technology more productive for the students. Most of the
research studies have indicated that, mobile devices are very
useful for students while a few research studies negates its
effectiveness. In this paper, we have presented the literature
survey conducted on the use of mobile technologies in the field
of Teaching and Learning (T&L). These studies are broadly
classified into three areas: Impact and learning environment;
specific applications; and mobile learning framework. We will
be exploring all these areas in this paper. Our review in impact
and environment of mobile learning indicates that the use of
mobile technology is nourishing the knowledge and learning of
students in most cases. Our review on specific applications of
mobile learning reveals positive impacts on learning in various
fields but the key concern raised was difficulties in
implementing them and not having proper control guideline.
Moreover, our review on frameworks for mobile learning
indicates that there are different frameworks developed for
different applications. Most of the applications are limited to
non-technical areas. However, we can observed that there is a
lack of connectivity between course development and
framework for mobile learning. Therefore, the future course
developers need to address the gap by taking into account of
learners’ behavior in using mobile devices and their cultures to
enrich student engagement and learning.
