Mobile learning is a novel form of sharing information through the common use of conventional and portable electronic devices. Portable devices can be handled easily without any constraints of a particular place or without any limitation to boundary like mobiles, smartphones, tablets, iPads. During ancient times the mode of sharing ideas and values was by a teacher in terms of teaching and assigning some practical works to enhance the skills, to an assigned group of students. It used to take a long period of time sometimes half of the life to learn basic knowledge. The information generated in various fields like history, geography science, environmental studies has not been preserved efficiently, only the published work in recent years is been used as a source of knowledge or research.

The recordings of meetings conferences and lectures can be sent readily if required.
The design for mobile learning should be user friendly. The hyperlinks for the key points should be easily accessed and visible to users. The sending and transferring of data in a controlled manner should be done so that it does not affect the feasibility and ethical issues of the data. The major applications should come integrated with the device. The data should be readily available and can be accessed through a large no of people. The updates should be notified, so that user can upgrade to the newest version. The knowledge provided should be productive, mutually supportive at a dynamic level. Different formats can be used in mobile learning like video, audio, animation, infographic, GPS etc. The audio is by listening and video enables you to see the picture with the audio, animation involves learning with cartoons and Global Positioning System is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all conditions. Information graphics or Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly.
