The very high penetration, mobility, ubiquity and its flexibility make it as a natural choice for learning tool in higher education. Mobile learning (m-learning) is an extension of electronic learning (e-learning), which is part of a learning management system that widely used in universities today. In addition, the nature of m-learning and the advantages of newer technology will draw interest, engagement and higher rate of adoption among young generation including students. The purpose of this research is to determine the elements of forming and supporting of implementations of m-learning in higher education in Indonesia. Keywords: m-learning, e-learning, ubiquitous, pedagogy, university The revolution of mobile device technology in the past 10 years changes 3 basic things in our everyday communications, connected to anywhere in the world, anytime anyplace connectivity, and resources can be accessed anywhere and anytime. We sum up those three points into three keywords for mobile device characteristic mobility, ubiquity and flexibility. These characteristics drive mobile devices as a natural choice for mobile learning. Indonesia have high penetration of mobile phone user, it is 85,9 % from 254 million population as march 2011 and 34 million internet users according data from Mobile Network Operator [1] and Asia Digital Marketing Association [2]. The number indicates unprecedented growth of mobile device, which contributed by the fact that mobile phone, has been part of many Indonesian lifestyles. The characteristics of mobile phone that show ubiquity and personalized device is also another advantage as a learning tools comparing to other devices. Mobile learning (m-learning) itself is an extension of electronic learning (e- learning), which is part of a Learning Management System (LMS) that widely used in universities today. A successful e-learning implementation drives the development of m- learning, because the nature of m-learning itself and the advantages of newer technology will draw interest, engagement and higher rate of adoption among young generation including students. Pachler et al [3] illustrate mobile devices as resources for learning, adoption trends, characteristics, constraints and challenge. By understanding trend and pattern of mobile usage, we conclude that mobile adoption for learning is an inevitable for the future. In Task Force
