Abstract
The advancement in Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) has brought new opportunities for learning. Tanzania is adopting the new
technologies in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) through e-learning and m-
learning. However, delivery of learning contents is becoming a challenge for
HEIs due to the constraints in resources and network bandwidth. This study
discussed learners’ perceptions on using e-learning applications and mobile
devices for learning in three HEIs in Tanzania. Findings show that majority of
the students own more than one mobile devices which can be used as a tool for
facilitating the learning process. It is suggested that in order to improve e-
learning content delivery and accessibility under limited resource settings, HEIs
in developing countries should make an effective use of emerging mobile
computing technologies which are relevant to their respective environments.
