The impact of m-learning technology on students and educators

This paper addresses the notion of the impact of mobile learning technology from the learner's as well as educator's point of view. The authors have outlined the application of the e-learning in smart classes, which is followed by a similar argument with regard to the m-learning technology. This is followed by a statistical evaluation of the m-learning which through multiple surveys is conducted among the undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as the academics. In conclusion, the outcomes of these surveys are presented in graphical forms that highlight the merits and demerits of the m-learning technology.
