Abstract

The objective of the current research is to develop a mobile learning model for smart phones which will be used by educational institutions for learning and training purposes but also for on-the-go communication for students and academics and information sharing. It would determine the important elements of mobile applications as a medium to facilitate m-Learning both in assembling responses from students and for reporting feedback to individual students. The mobile application would also integrate capabilities so the students would be able to access presentations by professionals through the 3G application in their mobile devices. They could also interact by posting their comments and sharing photos, images, voice and video though this application. The lecturer could facilitate and moderate debates while students could respond and learn without being in front of a computer. The application would also be used as a digital marketing channel for promoting Educational Programmes to potential candidates.
