Abstract


The development of information technology, especially in the form of mobile technology, has sbrought revolutionary changes in various fields of life, including education. The widespread use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has opened up new opportunities for learning and significantly increased the accessibility and quality of learning. The purpose of this summary is to describe the important role mobile technologies play in improving the accessibility and quality of learning. With the help of descriptive methods and literary analysis, the positive effects of mobile technologies on learning are examined. First, mobile technology has broken down geographical and physical barriers to access learning. The ability to access learning materials and educational resources via mobile devices has opened the door to distance learning and self-study. Students can now study anywhere, anytime, increasing the flexibility of the learning process. Second, mobile technology enables the use of interactive and engaging learning applications and platforms. Many educational apps available online offer innovative learning methods such as educational videos, educational games and interactive quizzes. This helps increase student engagement and interest in the learning process, which has a positive impact on their motivation and academic performance. In addition, mobile technology enables more effective collaboration and communication between students, teachers and parents. With the help of communication apps and online learning platforms, teachers can provide real-time feedback, strengthen teacher-student relationships, and facilitate parental involvement in their children's academic development. However, this summary also highlights some of the challenges and concerns that need to be addressed when learning to use mobile technology. Issues such as unequal access to technology, the potential for distracting concentration due to distracting devices, and the importance of student data security and privacy need to be carefully considered. As we recognize the increasingly important role of mobile technology in education, we can take advantage of the opportunities and opportunities offered by this technological revolution to increase the accessibility and quality of learning. With the integration of smart technology and the right support, mobile technology-based learning can become one of the main pillars of a more inclusive and innovative education in the future.
