Authors

Abstract
Universities and institutions in the field of teacher education focusing upon the courses for using computers in education or they simply feel delighted to see the state boards at school level and National/State councils for Educational Research and Training are advancing at great speed to plan out integration of technology with education with teachers struggling to complete even the prescribed syllabus. The main purpose of the present study was to brief knowledge about M-Learning. E-Learning is the use of technology to enable people to learn. M-learning is often viewed as a component of a learning programme, something that supports the learning process as an add-on tool, rather than being the principal learning method. Mobile Learning is an E-Learning that uses mobile devices and wireless transmission. There is no doubt that we are becoming a much more mobile society. Mobile technologies are commonplace in our society. Their availability at relatively low cost has contributed to social change, particularly with college students who use their mobile phones to maintain relationships unbounded by proximity. Schools, Colleges and universities have generally been quick to adopt new technologies, often even before their educational value has been proven. Throughout its history, higher education has experimented with technological advances as diverse as the blackboard and the personal computer. The twenty first century promises to be “knowledge era “in which highly competitive “knowledge society” will make unprecedented demands on universities and other institution in the area of higher education. These demands can be met only through imaginative and effective utililisation of information and communication technology. In this regard M-Learning plays vital role. The rapid growth of information and communication technologies and rising computer knowledge of the students make possible appearance of these new educational forms. The relatively recent availability of 3G (Internet equipped) mobile phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) will increase opportunities for mobile learning and web-based information can be used to expand the learning experience. A suggestive curriculum framework needs to be framed by National Council for Teacher Education and hence appropriate syllabus should be developed by different universities and authoritative institutions in the field of Teacher Education.
