It addresses concerns that teachers may ban mobiles in classrooms due to fear of cheating and plagiarism, while drawing on global scholarship about mobile-assisted learning in formal and informal settings. The article analyzes trends, principles, merits and limitations, best practices, feasibility in the Ethiopian context, and future considerations for effective implementation.","Using Mobile Phone Technologies to Maintain Quality of Education in Ethiopia: A View beyond the Prevalence of Academic Dishonesty  \nMebratuMulatu Bachore1  \n 1School of Languages and Communication Studies College of Social Sciences and Humanities Hawassa University, Ethiopia   \nAbstract  \nThe 21st century is characterized by the increasing access to sophisticated but affordable  and portable technologies that are contributing much to the world. Specifically, in  Ethiopia, mobile technologies are rapidly attracting new users, providing increasing  capacity, and introducing more sophisticated uses to the citizens. However, it is becoming  somehow common to ban using mobiles phones in classrooms among teachers in Ethiopia  due to fear of cheating and plagiarism. At the same time, various scholars around the  world have been investigating the trends of using these technologies for learning in both  formal and informal contexts. The integration of such technologies into teaching and  learning has been more gradual, as educators need to understand how they can be  effectively used to support various kinds of learning and develop effective methods and  materials for mobile assisted learning. Therefore, this review article analyses the trends,  principles, merits and demerits, global experiences, and future considerations of using  mobile to maintain the quality of education in Ethiopia which is becoming the due concern  of our nation.  \nKeywords: Mobile phones, Learning, Quality education, Academic dishonesty.  \nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License Asian Online Journal Publishing Group  \nContents  \n1.

Introduction  \nIn recent years, there has been a growing body of evidence that the spread of ICT (information and communications technologies) can have substantial benefits for economic development. The growing use of the Internet and email has, for many people and organizations, revolutionized the speed and ease of communications, both within their own countries and, especially, across international borders.  \nAs a part of the world, Ethiopia is also showing a significant development in exploiting advanced technologies such as mobile phones with their sophisticated applications.
