Photography has an extraordinary history and numerous theories have been
applied to its history and practice as part of an analytical research process
contributing to the understanding of the medium. In this new era of technology,
photography has become more affordable and transformed mobiles phones into a
digital camera. Not only for communication but smartphones has grown more with
the application where a small program can make it more fun and useful. However,
informal studies about History of Photography, students still relying on the
slideshow in the classroom, copying notes and lending books from the library. This
traditional method of studies sometimes set the limit on the students to access the
information. Parallel with Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) to propel the
nations' higher education to the next level, a quantitative study has taken place to
get the feedback from students on using the mobile application in learning History
of Photography course. A survey was conducted with 53 of students from semester
two in photography program in a local public university. The findings of this study
clearly show a very positive response towards the mobile application notes rather
than the traditional learning methods.
