Abstract
The aim of this study is to build a knowledge system, which features a clear picture of the mobile learning technology environment in the field, benefits, barriers and applications of mobile learning. Where the study concluded that mobile learning is an e-learning system based on wireless communications. It is part of the e-learning which includes similarity and differences of each other, so that the learner free access to educational materials, lectures and seminars at anytime, anywhere, outside the classroom. This in turn creates a learning environment in the framework of new educational situations, based on a participatory and interactive learning, and eases the exchange of information among the learners themselves on one hand and lecturers and learners on the other hand. Mobile learning techniques consist of IPod touch, PlayerMp3, Personal Digital Assistant, USB Drive, E-Book Reader, Cellular phone, Ultra- Mobile, General packet radio services (GPRS), Laptop Tablet, Smart phone, and Learning Mobile Author. Many of obstacles and difficulties hindering the use of mobile learning in education, these difficulties and challenges lie between educational content, the protection of security techniques, devices, storage capacity, frequency and the degree of unsustainable devices. In addition to these, preparation of educational curricula and individual differences among students also lead to Slow down the use of mobile learning. Moreover, the low level of culture and the experience of some teachers and students in dealing seriously with modern technology, and the high financial cost of inputs of this type of learning adding to that the absence of integrated educational strategies that support the use of mobile learning, all these together stand against the use of the mobile learning. The study concluded by emphasizing the importance of reviewing the input teaching process and procedures for its implementation, in order to absorb the concepts of knowledge, electronic and technological revolution, community mobilization, to achieve the current stage of the development of modern requirements.
