Abstract
Insurgencies in some northern part of Nigeria made a lot of families who survived the scenario to
flee to IDPs for the security of their life, food, clothing and shelter. As such the paper discussed
mobile learning in TVET as recommended for the IDPs since their right to education has been
denied. In this piece of work, mobile learning is defined as learning with relevant and converging
mobile technologies such as cell phones, Personal Computers, Tablets, palm tops and videos while
on the move. The paper also discussed the rational for advocating Mobile learning and TVET in
IDP camps and the relationship between mobile learning and TVET. Some of the challenges in the
implementation of TVET at the IDP camp include poor ICT infrastructures, high cost, technical
and content issues among others. Varieties of APPs were recommended for the mobile learning to
include Claro, Appulse, Impatica, Andrenna mobile, Black board mobile, Goknow mobile learning
environment, KMxMobile and many others. Basically mobile learning content TVET areas
designed for the IDPs included different skills in automobile craft, building construction,
carpentry and joinery, electrical electronics, metal work and GSM repairs. It was however
recommended that poor ICT infrastructures, appropriateness of contents and battery issues be
addressed before the implementation of the programme at the IDP camps in Northern Nigeria.
