Mobile learning is the intersection of mobile computing and e-learning (Clark Quinn, 2000).
When examining mobile learning and its uses, it is apparent that mobile learning is really just the same as other learning except that is it is powered by available technologies that support digital learning by providing access anywhere anytime, it is ubiquitous!
For instructional use, what is it about mobile learning that might be important to a facilitator, trainer, teacher, professor? I think what, how, why and when, along with benefits and drawbacks of use, is what we all want to know.

Thanks for sharing the valuable information. I see mobile learning being more popular in near future because of its extra edge over traditional teaching methods. Some students may face problems at initial stage so a ‘complete’ training session is must before starting regular mobile teaching session.
