M-learning education trends are popular in Students through iPod

摘要

This paper examines popularity of i-pod mobile phones which has been increased in the whole world especially in Saudi Arabia. Most of the students are dependent on mobile phone and I-pod is too much popular in new generation. In my preliminary research we found students were more willing to come to school, did more homework and used their iPod?s more than laptops or desktop computers. Students expect a learning environment that accommodates a mobile lifestyle, integrates today?s digital tools, adapts to individual learning style & encourages collaboration & team work. Every student is more comfortable to learn lectures at home or workplace through i-pod mobile phones like Samsung galaxy, PDA?s and many more. These devices provides mobilized environment and have lead to the development of a new field of research which is known as m-learning. This paper highlights the uses of i-pod in our education system and evaluates the strength and limitations of m-learning using i-pod.
