Furthermore, there is an increased thrust in engaging undergraduate students in research across universities and colleges. Given that undergraduate students have limited time for research and less developed knowledge base and technical expertise in their domains, this poses special challenges. In

Mobiledevices offer convenience for learning that is available throughout a long period of time,enabling the learner’s personal accumulation of resources and knowledge. Use of thetechnologies is intuitive for most, which enables broader use, even by people with no previousexperience with the technology.If the intent of educators is to help students plan and realize learning goals for a lifetime, then itis important to understand how students perceive the lifelong learning process in the world ofabundant information, readily accessible and portable through technology, both mobile andfixed
