This is a topic that has received renewed interest recently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and school closures. While a number of recent studies have demonstrated good potential for mobile phones and SMS to be used to support learning, there are also questions about how equitable this medium is in practice. We conducted a telephone survey with learners (n = 122) and their caregivers (n = 124) who use M-Shule, an SMS-based educational platform in Kenya, in order to understand their attitudes towards mobile learning, and the benefits and constraints. In particular, we consider whether there are differences in responses according to gender and/or location, to shed light on whether use is equitable. We find that girls and boys face similar barriers to use, and the technology is perceived to be equally beneficial. We identify some areas for potential further support for all learners through mobile learning.}, number = {4}, urldate = {2024-02-29}, journal = {African Educational Research Journal}, author = {Jordan, Katy and Damani, Kalifa and Myers, Christina and Mumbi, Albina and Khagame, Phoebe and Njuguna, Lydia}, month = dec, year = {2023}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.30918/AERJ.114.23.088 2405685:6BR2KK45}, pages = {665--679}, }
