Real-world Applications of Mobile Learning Tools in Engineering: Prospects, Hindrances and Accessibility in Conjunction with Scholastic Views

This desk-based study uses a qualitative approach to explore the range of affordances that mobile technology-enhanced learning can avail to engineering education. It took documented outcomes and experience of mobile users who participated in engineering experiments. The secondary data are from eleven examined articles that are used in text data analysis. This study produces a scholar's view through empirical studies of real-world uses of mobile technologies in implementing learning. This study highlights the features and issues associated with mobile devices used in investigated studies. The summary of the study will provide insight for a prospective integration of elements of mobile technology in this area of engineering learning. It will be useful to learners and instructors for aligning choices of instruments suitable for supplementing `real' laboratories. The array of descriptions in this study ingresses and anticipates the relevance of this study to be helpful to anyone who intends to advise a mobile application pathway for learning, especially for engineering program.
