Abstract
A new trend in e-learning is known as Mobile Learning. Learning through mobile phones have become part of the educative process. Thus, the purposes of this study are to develop a mobile application for the Fundament of Digital Electronics course that consists of number systems operation, logic gates, and Boolean Algebra, and to assess the readiness, perceptions, and effectiveness of students in the use of mobile devices for learning in the classroom. This research uses Research and Development (R&D) method. The design used in this research, by doing treatment in one class and observing by using Android-based mobile application instructional media. The result obtained from this research shows that the test has 80 % validity aspect, 82 % of the user from senior high school students gives a positive response in using the application of mobile learning, and based on the result of post-test, 90, 90% students passed the exam. At last, it can be concluded that the use of the mobile learning application makes the learning process more effective when it is used in the teaching-learning process.

Summary
Mobile learning (m-Learning) is a new paradigm in the world concern of erudition. This learning model appears to keep the development of the world of information and communication technology, especially information technology and mobile communication which is very rapid. It cannot be denied at this time, a mobile communication device is one device that is attached to the daily animation of the actors such as instructor and scholar [1]. M-Learning is a unique learning because the user can access code of learning materials, referrals and applications related to learning, whenever and wherever [11]. At the present, more innovative and student-centered, concerning the use of mobile devices, like cell phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and smartphones
