            Abstract : 
The rapid development of mobile communication technology leads to a new style of learning - `m-learning´. The demand of personalized learning through mobile devices creates a new paradigm in education system. The benefits and features of m-learning extend its applicability from distance education to supplementary aid for conventional classroom learning. The paper discusses the necessity, challenges and opportunities of using m-learning in university campus as an aid to conventional learning. A conceptual model is presented for implementing m-learning in university campus along with existing e-learning system.
