This review study explores and analyzes the definition of mobile learning with its appropriate learning environment, the possibilities and potential of this approach and its limitations. Furthermore, this article also critically examine the previous studies demonstrating the favorable and negative effects by m-learning and teaching, implies this paradigm of the advent on the pedagogical approach help the students in learning development in various ways, mainly if done correctly have been applied. In this review some strategies and practical methods of implementation of the m-learning approach has been recommended, despite its limitations and challenges.
