This article provides an overview of using mobile technology in the classroom to enhance assessment of student learning. Although research on mobile devices in education is still in the embryonic stage, students generally have positive views about using their mobile devices for classroom polling and backchannel communication. However, there are also several challenges including the increased opportunity to be distracted when using mobile devices for other purposes, cost of the technology, and privacy concerns. The information presented will serve as a focal point for future research regarding the use of mobile technology in the classroom, and may help teachers to find new ways to reach their students.

Mobile learning is one of the learning models using mobile technology devices that can support learning (Marinakou & Giousmpasoglou, 2015). Laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other are technology devices that can support mobile learning such as (Göksu & Atici, 2013). From these devices, smartphones are the most widely used devices (Ken Nee Chee, Noraffandy Yahaya, Nor Hasniza Ibrahim, & Mohamed Noor Hasan, 2017). Mobile learning uses a very flexible approach, which allows students to learn wherever and whenever (Your et al., 2014), (Kim, Lee, & Rha, 2017). In its application, lecturers are only as facilitators to excel and hone student skills (Hamdani, 2013). This study was research and development (R&D) (Sugiyono, 2016). Data collection techniques used in this study used questionnaires, walkthroughs, Interviews, and tests of student learning outcomes. The development model used is the adoption of the Lee & Owens development model consisting of 5 (five) phase: assessment/analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. (Lee, William W & Owns & Diana L, 2004) At the phase of assessment/analysis, a needs analysis was carried out from the study. Phase Design carried out several steps in the design of the mobile learning model which consists of the preparation of flowcharts, storyboards, and scripts that will be implemented in making applications and implementing mobile learning models. The development phase is the implementation of the design phase. The app that will be used in building products is  Moodle mobile app. At this phase, there will be a presentation of media experts, material experts, learning design experts, and linguists experts. The next step is the implementation, which is the implementation of the mobile learning model. The last phase is the evacuation, which is a field trial involving 26 students. The effectiveness test of the mobile learning model done by giving pretest and posttest to assess the increase in student learning outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the development of mobile learning in learning media to improve digital literacy and student learning outcomes in physics subjects. The method used in writing this systematic literature review is to search for the literature using a database on Google Scholar. The results of the study show that the use of mobile learning in student learning can be used as a learning support tool, media and learning resource and can be applied at the student level. The benefits of using mobile learning in learning are that it can facilitate the teaching and learning process both in the classroom and outside the classroom, attract students' attention and can generate enthusiasm and motivation in learning so that the material being delivered can be conveyed properly and can be understood by students, besides another benefit of using mobile learning is that it can support students towards independent learning. The development of mobile learning as a learning medium has been carried out by several researchers, who develop mobile learning. The results of the development carried out indicate that the media developed is more likely to focus on the teaching material only. Mobile learning developed is focused as a means of practicing working on questions that can provide various types of questions that are varied and challenging.

The education system is faced with a situation that requires teachers to be able to master distance learning media, such as during the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. The distance education system is one of the solutions to overcome difficulties in face-to-face learning with the existence of social distancing rules which are a major obstacle today. Mobile Learning ( M-Learning) is a distyance paradigm utilizing mobile technology and devices which are predicted to experience rapid and potential development along with the development of mobile technologiitself. M-Learning is a distance leaning medium that is easy and often used. This study aims to see the effectiveness of derivative learning using M-Learning media in terms of student learning outcomes. The research model used in this study was a quasi experiment using a one group pretest postest design. The research sample was students in semester 2 who took calculus courses. The sample data were processed by descriptive analysis and test the difference in the average learning outcomes. The results showed that calculus courses with derivative materials using M-Learning media were quite effective when viewed from the student learning outcomes. Student learning outcomes after lecturing using M-Learning are higher than student learning outcomes before lecturing using M-Learning. Abstrak Sistem pendidikan dihadapkan dengan situasi yang menuntut para pengajar untuk dapat menguasai media pembelajaran jarak jauh, seperti pada masa wabah pandemi Covid-19 ini.

The chapter aims to explore the various models proposed in the literature related with the impact of school leadership on student academic achievement. In doing so, and drawing mainly from the mediate and indirect models, the chapter also discusses the role of various intermediate/moderate variables that facilitate the impact of principal leadership on student-learning outcomes. Results from a qualitative exploratory study that took place in Cyprus are also presented. This study developed a framework of school principals' actions and strategies that teachers considered as effective in relation to improving their quality of teaching and student outcomes. Some of the problems related with measuring the impact of school leadership on student achievement, such as issues of conceptual and operational definitions of school leadership and methodological issues in research design are also elaborated. Finally, implications for policy and practice on school leadership are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.
