  • Abstract
    With the rapid advancement of wireless and mobile technology, the scope of e-learning has extended to that of mobile and ubiquitous learning. Despite many unique advantages in learning support and wide adoption, its diffusion in higher education was rarely explored. This study took a SWOT analysis approach and surveyed factors that support and hinder the diffusion of m-learning in China and Taiwan areas. The result indicates that m-Learning has great opportunities as well as threats.
