Five studies explored mobile learning in second-language acquisition
Various approaches to mobile device use for native language learning (mostly in the form of text-based literacy)
Using mobile devices to support social studies education was represented in 11% of the studies
M-learning in mathematics accounted for17% of the research reviewed
27% of the studies researched m-learning within the context of a natural science
access to the mobile device through a school-sponsored program contributed toward socio-educational equity

Five comparative studies found positive learning gains when students learned academic content in a real-world context
2.m-learning had neither a positive nor a negative effect
1.Three studies showed a mixed finding
2.M-learning had greater achievement
1.Nine comparative studies showed a positive learning outcome
