Since the disaster of earth environment caused by humans' indiscriminate destruction, a lot of environmental scholars attempt to solve or prevent environmental problems with different paths. Environmental education is considered as an effective path to improve earth environment. Accordingly, promoting national environmental literacy through education is the only way to have people make intelligent choices in encountering environmental problems and issues. Using the experimental design model for the quasi-experimental research, total 102 students in two classes of a university in Fujian Province are selected for the experimental research. A class, the experimental class (51 students) is preceded environmental education with mobile learning, and the other class, the control class (51 students) maintains the general traditional teaching for environmental education. The experimental teaching research lasts for 16 weeks (3 h per week for total 48 h). According to the results, suggestions are further proposed, expecting to assist in the promotion of environmental education and enhance students' environmental knowledge and learning satisfaction to develop the effect of mobile learning.
