Framework for Integration of Mobile Devices in Distance Education

Distance education was introduced many years back and has continuously gained popularity among institutions. Students heartily embrace it as it gives them the flexibility they so require, while for institutions they are able to offer educational opportunities to many who would not be in a position to attend class on a daily basis. Even with the exponential growth of distance education the delivery of content is still wanting. Most distance education courses still rely on print media to deliver content to students, with minimal media being introduced to assist. However with the advancement in technology distance education should be accessible to students whenever and wherever they are. This is not so, due to over reliance of delivery modes as mentioned above.
