impacts of the mobile technology on e-learning in Universities in Kenya, a case study of
University of Eastern Africa, Baraton. It adopted a case study method and a total of 85
respondents were randomly selected to participate in the study. This category of respondents
comprised 70 undergraduate students and a total of 15 respondents who constituted lecturers.
