Abstract

New mobile platforms, connected seamlessly to the Internet via wireless access have become increasingly more powerful and have found usage in a diverse set of application areas, including the education sector. The educational institutions are becoming more open to embracing new learning platforms, which in turn has sparked the interest in developing new assessment frameworks. This paper has used the framework of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) to design a model for M-learning within educational institutions. The framework has been validated with studies cases from higher education institutions.
