Today, the popularity of mobile practices amongst tertiary education is steadily growing and they are now able to utilize their mobile devices for a myriad of activities from developing websites to creating mobile apps to acquiring knowledge non-stop. Mobile application for learning is expected to be prevalent in forthcoming, as more devices procured by the younger generation. This study examines results from a survey on the perceptions and practices of mobile learning for Malaysian tertiary students. A quantitative research methodology was adopted to analyse data; results demonstrate that these students have positive perceptions towards mobile technology utilize in learning, and they actively and autonomously utilize mobile devices to enhance their experience of learning.
