Description
Summary:The massive changes in society and development of technology have an important effect on education. These changes affect all areas of education and this education continues, and is everywhere, at all times, using new technology. Mobile devices bring big opportunities to learners, to learn at all times, with no boundaries for education. Before M-learning, E-learning gave many advantages for learners while they were living faraway from school. In this study we try to explain the basic definitions of M-learning and E-learning, and try to find answers for the questions “is M-learning derived from E-learning” and “if it is derived, does M-learning support E-learning, or is M-learning in opposition to E-learning?” Is M-learning supporting E-learning, or are they in opposition??
