A student can continue his studies even after school or college and he has no dependability on libraries because mobile learning has provided a 24×7 library to the student with unlimited resources to provide information related to any field. As it is mentioned at the beginning of this article that most of the time owners of mobiles always keep their mobiles with them. That means they carry a medium or tool of learning all the time with them. They have the freedom to attend their studies anytime & anywhere.

If we talk about students then it is obvious that two students can’t be the same in the matter of intelligence hence their grasping power will also be different. M-learning provides ample amount of career opportunities to the students who want to earn while studying, like captcha typing, content writing & data entry. The best part of m-learning is it hardly concerns distance for learning. For example, a learner who belongs to India & wants to learn a course which is available only in a university of London and he is not affluent enough to go there then this huge distance matters nothing in m-learning. He can learn the same course from the same university of London very easily sitting in India via m-learning.
LMS says that earlier the classroom used to be teacher-centered but these days there is so much variety of content that students don’t have to depend upon a single source of information and knowledge and now they can perform research by themselves and grab the best content online. In this way their dependency on a human particularly or any other source got finished and now they are independent to get the best study material. There are many online educational apps and websites which organize quizzes and competitions of various types from time to time. Students also participate in them very enthusiastically and enjoy participating as well as learning from such competitions. Such activities organized online encourage students to keep on learning.
