Abstract
Globalization, justified as the flow of technology, economy, people, values, and idea across borders, is having a reflective impact on most facets of society and is a noteworthy factor influencing the nature and function of higher education. ICT improved higher education (open and distance learning, virtual universities, e-learning, open educational resources) is likely to become the most considerable driver of cross-border provision. The development of innovation and technology in higher education to meet the world’s rapidly changing needs emerged as the center of attention of higher education. The sphere of communication has expanded significantly. Nowadays, students are leveraging mobile devices both to be more efficient in their day-to-day tasks and to transform their own learning processes. There is a desperate need for flexible, innovative learning approaches and delivery methods to improve quality and relevance while expanding student numbers. In this chapter, we have a variety of approaches to enhancement of teaching and learning with digital device. Out of all digital leaning devices, mobile phone has more possibility for easy and effective learning. Mobile technology has a potential to access education for all. Empirical studies, chronological evolution of technological learning devices, graphical presentation of technological evolution, and mapping case studies and emerging trends with technology has made this chapter more relevant. Recommendations of emerging technology like smart lab are an imperative approach that may accomplish the future expectations of higher education. These various approaches must be landmark for educators, learners, administrators as well as policy makers.
