Abstract
Mobile learning is 'au courant', a term applied to almost anything that has no wire and fits in to a pocket. It is a term applied to devices designed for communication, rather than pure learning, yet the claim is learning. Studies that attempt to measure impact on learning have returned mixed results. Ultimately, the current research reflects that mobile learning remains a vision moreso than a reality at this point in time.
