Abstract: Mobile learning (m-learning) and microlearning are revolutionizing education by offering flexible, personalized, and accessible learning experiences tailored to the demands of the digital age. This study examines the principles, integration, benefits, and challenges of these innovative approaches, emphasizing their transformative potential in reshaping traditional education systems. Mobile learning leverages smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices to enable learning anytime and anywhere, while microlearning delivers concise, targeted content designed to enhance engagement, retention, and practical application. Together, these strategies promote learner autonomy, bridge geographical and socio-economic gaps, and foster lifelong learning habits. The paper explores how interactive features, gamification, and just-in-time learning contribute to effective knowledge transfer, making education more relevant and performance-driven. Additionally, it identifies barriers such as digital inequality, content quality concerns, distraction risks, accreditation challenges, and data security issues, emphasizing the need for strategic planning, innovation, and inclusive policies. By synthesizing theoretical perspectives and practical implications, this study provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and instructional designers seeking to create dynamic, equitable, and future-ready educational ecosystems in an increasingly technology-driven world.
