Abstract

Despite the advancements made towards learning such as technological innovations in the classroom and access to learning in general, there are significant challenges that remain especially the modes of delivery of quality education apart from the traditional classroom teaching and learning. In the endeavour to discover feasible solutions for these challenges, much trust has been put in new data and correspondence advancements such as information communication technologies (ICTs) outside the classroom especially mobile devices. This study reviews several articles and previous studies relating to the use of mobile devices for portable learning instruction or mobile learning (m-learning) education and assess the potential and versatility of m-learning for mobile education experiences in institutions of higher learning in South Africa.
