Despite the availability of studies on mobile learning adoption, its theoretical foundations have not yet matured. In addition, studies on mobile learning adoption in the context of Malaysia is also still very limited. Against this concern, a study was undertaken with the aim of investigating factors that could influence mobile learning adoption. Building upon The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and two other variables which are perceived playfulness and self management of learning, an empirical based framework was developed to identify predictors of mobile learning. Employing a survey research method involving 282 respondents from Universiti Teknologi MARA, the results showed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social factors, facilitating conditions, perceived playfulness and self management of learning are strong determinants of intention to adopt mobile learning. The present study provides both a theoretical and practical contributions to understanding the predictors of intention to adopt mobile learning and should be of interest to both researchers and practitioners.
