Abstract	Recently, the quick spread of mobile computing and communication leads us to this point that it is an opportune time to integrate Mobile learning (M-learning) into educational concepts. There has been a great interest towards the use of mobile devices to deliver learning materials, and for students to learn anytime and anywhere. With regard to flexibility, low cost, and new features of mobile devices, students and lecturers are willing to integrate M-learning into their educational processes. Thus, this study is conducted on a group of students and lecturers in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) with the aim of obtaining their perceptions and issues related to the adoption of M-learning in teaching and learning activities. This study uses the survey method to achieve the aims. Overall, findings show that the interest of users towards adoption of M-learning for their teaching and learning processes is very high. Easy and convenient access to learning material is the main benefit; and concern about the lack of ability to use and organize M-learning is the main barrier for this adoption. Besides, SMS is selected as more preferable application for M-learning activities.
