The Factors Influencing in Mobile Learning Adoption: - A Literature Review

The purposes of this paper are to explore current literature Review and specify the challenges and to identify factorsaffecting mobile learning (m-learning) adoption. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews literature pertaining to: mlearning applications and challenging issues and factors influencing m-learning adoption which contributed to a new conceptual Model. Findings – Even if m-learning is fast emerging, the review of literature reveals a challenge as to how to promote mlearning adoption. In this line, the paper extends the scope of literature reviewed to the theories and factors relating to m-learning adoption viz. Technology user, consumer and learner. Insights are drawn from the proposed model. Practical implications – A number of m-learning projects have been initiated worldwide while Guidelines drawing from m-learning adoption research are in short supply. A research in this regard will contribute to a better understanding of developing acceptable m-learning service. Originality/value – Based on a literature review, the paper not only specifies the current situation of M-learning adoption, but alsodevelops factors influencing m-learning adoption to enrich our insight and understanding of m-learning adoption – which help to undertake and promote future empirical Research.
