When one thinks of learning, a list of things pop up in their minds, such as exams, timetable, practice, Q/A, quizzes, etc; and when one thinks of mobile apps, things like gaming, pictures and maps come to their minds. However, when we combine the two “poles apart” agendas, what do you think would be the end result? Well, the answer is simple. It will be learning through mobile apps.
It is surely going to raise a lot of eye brows since people still believe in the conventional trends of education through textbooks, dire concentration and fundamental exam patterns. However, with the radical changes in the field of technology and rise of smart phone apps, a lot has changed and so has the trends in education, wherein learning through apps has become a subject of interest for many in the current era.

Also known as “M-Learning,” learning through mobile apps and portable devices like tablets and mobile phones is not just interesting but also a breakthrough in the often monotonous trend of learning from textbooks, with lack of multimedia content, which commonly reduces people’s knack in competitiveness and participation.
Bridging the gap in the educational sector
M-learning makes it easier for education, information and updates to reach remote areas, benefitting a lot of people belonging to the disadvantaged section of the society where conventional forms of education cannot reach.
With the growing popularity of smart phones in not just urban but also rural sectors, the internet penetration of India is definitely on a rise, meaning more and more people will have access and the ease of learning at their disposal, thanks to their handy cell phones and tablets.
Learning through mobile apps is more dynamic
The biggest advantage of learning through mobile apps is that you can crosscheck and verify facts instantly. Studying through textbooks maybe preferential for many, you just read through what’s written and that gets engraved in your mind for the rest of your life, without any concrete verification to validate the written chunk of text.
When it comes to M-learning however, you can check the facts for your own learning from not just one but multiple sources, and also in a more vivid and dynamic way, through presentations, pictures and a list of other multimedia contents like flowcharts and info graphics.
You can access a cauldron of information from all over the world and also share what you have in store for rest of the people across the globe who are willing to learn through mobiles.
