Abstract

This paper advocated for the blending of Mobile Technology into the lecture delivery by Faculty of Education members using Usmanu Danfodiyo Uinversity, Sokoto as pivot.  The paper argued on the backdrop of the need for the Faculty members to embibe the best practice in teaching and learning to set good examples for lecturers in other departments.  The paper thus suggested the integration of mobile phones, G-Cloud and social network platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram to create online classroom for the purpose of lecture delivery.  The paper suggested practical steps in creating online class and identify the large number of students offering education courses as one of the challenges lecturers may face in doing that.  The paper thus recommended that the Administrator (the lecturer) can temporally forfeit his / her absolute control of the platform by allowing added members to add others. Keywords: Mobile Technology, Telegram, WhatsApp, Lecture Deliver, Online Class
