any time. anywhere, and with anyone. It benefits from the use of
technologies to implement learning activities and achieve learning
objectives. These technologies incorporate learning materials such as
videos, audios, PowerPoint presentations, or notes with embedded
source data in them (Liquigan, 2016). It is a very personalized and
