Foreign Literature
M-learning provides flexibility for accessing learning content for enlightening learning
accomplishment (Olasina, 2018). There are multiple benefits of m-learning, extended not only
to giving quick access to learning material but also enabling innovative thinking and problem
solving in the learners (West, 2013) However, the cause and effect relationship between m-
learning and students’ academic performance is likely to be mediated by facilitation discourse
and flexibility (Fuegen, 2012). M-learning pedagogy delivers online learning with greater extent
of flexibility, subsequently, m-learners take advantage of access to knowledge resources and
digital learning content in mean time (Fakomogbon & Bolaji, 2017). This flexibility generated as
a result of mobile enabled education assists students in engaging in adaptive activities for
coping up with the needs of dynamic learning (Hamdan & BenChaban, 2013). Flexible learning
creates climate of learning empowerment, where all learners are regarded as “co-creators of
knowledge”, also give a way to conduct face-to-face virtual interactive sessions that boost
learning (Niculescu, Rees, & Gash, 2017). One of the significant characteristics of flexible
learning is moving beyond the borders of formal education, hence, helping students to gain
practical knowledge, execute theoretical concepts transform conventional learning to open
learning (Li, 2018; Ryan & Tilbury, 2013).
