M-learning is especially convenient and cost-effective because it replaces books, notes, and PCs with lightweight devices and is accessible from virtually anywhere. 

The use of ed tech apps also has a positive effect on learning for all age groups. Even kindergarten kids that use iPads show higher rates of literacy than non-users. EdPlus is an Oxford University spinout company founded in 2018. 

Toby Staveley, an entrepreneur interested in social problems, and Professor Francis Brown, a world-renowned mathematician and Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College, are the co-founders.
