Summary
Mobile learning is the learning media that probably can be utilized during studying at the university(Traxler, 2009). With the latest technological developments, it is possible for the students to be able to use the learning process with a mobile phone. The experts try to define the meaning of mobile learning that can be used as a way to attract the diversity of students to improve the learning process (Martin & Ertzberger, 2013). Clark Quinn (2000) has argued that the interaction of students in the application can access a wide range of resources as well as improve the effectiveness of learning media. What is more, he argues that the independent learning style can probably appear when students use this mobile learning application. It can be concluded that the mobile tool in the smartphone is considered to be the learning medium that can help students to find the information and communication among others (Crompton & Burke, 2018; Marwan, Madar, & Fuad, 2013)
