Abstract:

Recently, with the rapid development of information network and communication technology, Mobile learning has playing an important role in people's studying and working and becomes the focus and tendency of distance learning. On the other hand, adult education as a supplement of ordinary education has playing an important role in improving labors' total quality, For adult learners are busy for work and they only have to learn at spare moment, so the form of adult education should be more flexible, not only limit to television university and night college.
