Impacts of Mobile Cloud Learning (MCL) on Blended Flexible Learning (BFL)

Abstract

Mobile Cloud Learning (MCL), a novel integration of Mobile learning and Cloud Computing is a new learning approach that is going to be a dominant teaching or learning methodology in future. This paper puts emphasis on enhancing the quality of the education process through MCL and how Cloud-based Mobile learning replaces traditional Mobile learning. It explores the benefits of MCL on education in Blended Flexible Learning (BFL) and the issues that the students face during the MCL learning process. The current approaches to the issues have been identified and analyzed based on their strengths and weaknesses. This paper provides a new solution for Mobile Cloud Learning that considers all the internal and external factors that affect the learning experience and outcome of the learners. The survey is used as a tool for evaluation of the proposed framework and then identified challenges to the proposed solution are dealt with in the enhanced proposed framework.
