Volume : II, Issue : XI, December - 2012 THE FUTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION: M-LEARNING![](ArticleImage/No_Image.jpg) KRISHAN KANT Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The evolution of handheld portable devices and wireless technology has
resulted in radical changes in the social and economic lifestyles of modern people.
Today, many technological devices are produced in portable form and people have
become accustomed to them. These devices are reshaping users' daily lives in different
ways. But the development of digital technologies has so far been limited to social
communication and few people have regarded mobile learning as a core pedagogical
activity in higher institutions of learning. Although this model has been used as a
minor adjunct to learning activities such as lectures and assignments, it is still not the
primary mode of delivery in higher education. Currently, the instructional technology
transmitted by means of mobile technology is mainly social and, to a lesser extent,
economic. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KRISHAN KANT, (2012). THE FUTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION: M-LEARNING. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
