As mobile technologies continue to make their way into every part of modern life, it is important to systematically study the literature to investigate the many different aspects of M-learning in higher education. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the prevailing trends in mobile learning (M-learning) within the higher education sector, specifically focusing on the period from 2021 to 2023. The intention is to furnish fellow researchers with up-to-date insights into the current landscape of M-learning trends. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework provide Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodological rigor and quality assurance. Using two digital libraries, SCOPUS and Web of Science, 29 articles were ultimately analyzed. This systematic literature review discusses the mobile learning trend in 4 themes: Acceptance and Adoption of Mobile Learning, factors Influencing Mobile Learning, Perceptions and Attitudes towards Mobile Learning, and effectiveness of mobile learning. This systematic literature review on mobile learning in higher education presents that it is becoming more important. It sheds light on what makes people accept M-learning, how perceptions play a part, and how M-learning affects academic performance. Suggestions for future study in M-learning are to focus on new technologies, making it easier for students with disabilities to use, cultural factors, and environmental effects.
