Why students like m‐learning

Very handy, already have mobile device so why not use it?

Flexible. Can do school work started at school or on a PC can be done on a phone.

Learning takes place without all the “preamble” and students can just get to it.

Learning is more effective: contextual and heuristic because learning is on the move.
