Abstract

Mobile learning adoption is an active area of research. This paper aims to contribute to better understanding of mobile learning adoption by providing a body of knowledge to aid researchers working in this field. The applied method is systematic review of commonly used databases based on the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham (Keele, UK, Keele University, 33(2004), 1–26, 2004). In total 39 publications were retrieved out of which 27 were relevant to our research questions. The results highlighted publication trend, adoption models used and a set of factors that influence mobile learning adoption. Based on the findings recommendations were derived for further research in this field.
