Why M-Learning Might Appeal to Organisations?

The vast majority of scientific publications connected with mobile learning relates primarily to its use in education. However, as some previous research suggest, it can bring benefits to organisations as well. The aim of this study is to develop a comprehensive model of m-learning determinants in organisation. In the course of the preliminary literature review of selected, recently published papers, we elicited advantages and disadvantages of m-learning utilisation in a business environment. Then we categorised them and identified five categories of benefits (Learning style, Technology, Communication, Knowledge, Organisation) and six categories of barriers (Organisation, Employees, Technology, Security, Content, and External). On the basis of the developed categorisation we elaborated the model of m-learning determinants in organisations. Then we formulated a number of implications for practitioners which allow them to improve performance and productivity and generate savings during m-learning implementation
