Abstract:
With the explosive growth of mobile technology and the development of cloud computing, mobile cloud computing (MCC) has recently emerged as a leading technology for mobile services. MCC integrates cloud computing into the mobile environment to overcome a variety of mobile-related obstacles (i.e., performance, environment, and security). The usage of mobile technology has increased in many fields, especially the educational field. Hence, mobile learning (m-learning) has become an influential trend in education that promotes learning accessibility and flexibility either for normal students or disabled students. This paper provides a survey of MCC and examines articles on m-learning published from 2011 to 2016. The selected articles were thoroughly investigated in order to identify the main gaps in the previous research studies, and then open the horizon for the researchers to address these challenges in their future researches.
