Integrated Mobile Learning Education Supply Chain Management for Higher Learning Institutions

Abstract

The mobile devices are used to execute the teaching
learning-evaluation process in Mobile Learning (m-learning)
methodology. M-learning is a trending field in educational
organizations, companies, and for individual study. With the
explosion of mobile device ownership among the users aged within
18–29 years who are also the attendees of the higher learning
institution (HLI), gives us the opportunity to consider the use of
m-learning methodology to be embedded in the HLI beside
traditional methodologies. Exceptional circumstances such as the
COVID-19 pandemic when traditional face-to-face methodology
suddenly changed to online paradigm, is also forcing us to strongly
consider the m-learning approach. However, HLI may not have a
general policy to implement m-learning into the traditional
learning environment. A proper educational outcome needs to be
configured to implement a new process into the traditional
process. Therefore, a model integrating the m-learning aspects and
the education supply chain management factors obtained from
this study may benefit the stakeholders of HLI, especially
educators and students.
