Abstract

Usability evaluation of mobile learning applications is an active area of research. This paper reports on the systematic literature review (SLR) carried out to investigate the state of art in conducting usability evaluation of mobile learning applications. SLR was performed on papers obtained from commonly used databases. In total, 42 publications were retrieved; out of which 23 were relevant to our research questions. The results of SLR provided an insight into main contributions of the field, gaps, and opportunities, which motivated the discussion for important research directions in the future.
