Therefore, this study seeks to understand the influencing factors of mobile learning adoption in higher education by employing the Information System Success Model (ISS). The proposed model is evaluated through an SEM approach.

The findings also indicate that institutional policy, change management, and top management support have positive effects on the actual use of mobile learning systems, mediated by quality factors. Furthermore, the results indicate that factors of functionality, design quality, and usability have positive effects on the actual use of mobile learning systems, mediated by student satisfaction.
