Abstract
Universal move to wireless learning
enabled through mobile apps has been evident over
the last eighteen months in the higher education (HE) sector. Penetration rate of smart phones amongst
students have reached a record high. Universities
are investing in mobile applications enabling wireless
access to current Learning Management Systems
(LMS), while carefully considering benefits of the
cloud for secure and flexible provision of LMS
services. Capabilities of wireless devices present
issues of access, presentation and compatibility of
e-learning materials, while cloud infrastructure as a
service raises concerns of security as data is hosted
by third parties outside of the corporate firewalls.
The research questions are presented for discussion
through the lens of the student experience. A case
of a successful move to mobile learning enablement
and cloud deployment concludes the paper and
opens a discussion on critical success factors in
wireless e-learning operations.
