Mobile learning has become the most popular way of transporting information
and the number of users has been rapidly increasing all over the world. Most
importantly, students, these days can be defined as members of the digital
native or network generation, born in the digital era while interacting with
digital technology since childhood. Mobile devices have gradually become
more popular around the world. Due to their popularity, the education sector
has considered mobile learning (M-learning) technologies as pedagogical tools
for users to be able to use their devices for self-learning anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, this study examines the factors affecting students’ perception of
mobile learning. Several types of research show University professors are
adopting mobile learning for discussion meetings in order to help students in
academic learning and through effective connection and collaboration inside

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance
and Use of Technology (UTAUT). A total of 200 respondents from a private
university in Malaysia participated in this research. Samples were selected
using convenience sampling and the respondents answered the questionnaire
via Google form and paper and pencil method. A nominal scale and Five-point
Likert scale was used to design the questions in the questionnaire. Data analysis
methods used in this research were Descriptive Analysis, Reliability Analysis,
and Multiple Regression Analysis. The data collected and also information in

academics, researchers, learning institutions, and the government as we are
able to gauge and understand the factors influencing students’ perception of
mobile learning. However, there are some limitations as this research does not
reflect the actual student population in tertiary education in Malaysia and it
only focuses on four variables i.e. performance expectancy, effort expectancy,
