  With rapid technological advancements, mobile learning (m-Learning) offers
incredible opportunities, especially in the area of higher education. However,
while interest in this area has been significant and several pilot studies have
been conducted within universities, relatively less is known about how higher
educational institutions can make efficient use of the m-Learning platform to
support teaching and learning. Although there are numerous studies in the area,
the lack of this insight is mostly due to the fact that very little effort has
been made to collate these studies and determine a common set of key success
factors that affect the acceptance of m-Learning within universities. This
study conducts a systematic analysis of several studies conducted in the area
of m-Learning to assess the critical success factors, by making use of the
meta-analysis technique. Our investigation has shown that the most important
perceived advantages of m-Learning, from learner perspectives, are
collaboration during studies, the prospect of ubiquitous learning in space and
time, and user friendly application design.
