ABSTRACT
Mobile phone-enabled learning refers to the mobile phone's use allowing students and professors to connect with each other, primarily for academic purposes, as well as with classmates, family members and friends. The mobile phone is a modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) phenomenon inflicting all facets of life in society, including the educational system. As ICTs are integrated and harnessed to improve quality of education, evidence on the mobile phone's contribution to education is hereby problematized. Most of the literature on the mobile phone explores the latter's contribution in providing information, networking, commerce, self-expression, romantic and filial relationships, love and intimacy, environment and entertainment. The mobile phone comes in handy as the "announcer" to students for important class- or lesson-related messages being conveyed via the Yahoo! Group. The possibility of the mobile phone's full utilization as an educational tool can materialize through the convergence of the mobile phone with other media, such as the Internet and television.
