<![CDATA[The rapid digital transformation in education, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly altered learning systems worldwide, including in Indonesia. One of the most adaptive strategies emerging from this shift is mobile learning, which utilizes portable digital devices to support remote learning processes. However, its effectiveness relies not solely on the availability of technology but on how well mobile media are managed. This study aims to examine the role and strategies of mobile learning media management in enhancing the effectiveness of distance learning in the digital age. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were obtained from ten selected academic articles published between 2019 and 2025, drawn from accredited journals and relevant educational studies. The results indicate that mobile learning becomes significantly more effective when supported by strategic media management. This includes designing mobile-friendly learning content, utilizing interactive platforms such as LMS (Learning Management System), and providing teacher training to ensure pedagogical coherence. Furthermore, the findings highlight the importance of adaptive management that considers the diversity of student backgrounds, digital divides, and regional limitations in connectivity. In addition to promoting learning effectiveness, proper media management fosters student engagement, motivation, and inclusivity. The study concludes that mobile learning media, when managed systematically and pedagogically, serve as not only content delivery tools but integral components of a modern, flexible, and equitable educational system.]]>
