Abstract

Engineering students and professors may access information and interact with one another at any time and from any location, using any wireless device, any data network, or any network. We need to transform engineering laboratories into virtual labs and portable study materials (in a pocket) in wireless and mobile communication research, which is currently focused on and connected to engineering education research. The primary goal of this research is to raise knowledge of mobile learning in India, as well as to increase self-learning or personalised learning styles in an adaptive learning environment. This study employed a quasi experimental approach to assess student performance in engineering education using video courses delivered via mobile learning. To collect the data, seven UP engineering institutions, associated colleges, and a private university were chosen from three districts. This study made use of smart phones, mobile phones, wireless devices, tablet PCs, and personal digital assistants.
