Abstract
Higher education institutions around the world have invested heavily in ICT development to enhance teaching and learning processes and also to meet the needs of students in improving knowledge. As mobile learning has been successful and wider use in developed countries such as Finland, Korea, Japan and so on, so many of higher education institutions in developing countries such as Malaysia have embarked on several mobile learning initiatives to support their traditional learning mods. The objective of this paper is to build a conceptual framework of m-learning involving the integration of current practices, benefits and challenges to know their effectiveness in ensuring the quality of teaching and learning. In addition, the proposed framework focuses on case studies for the service delivery mechanism in smart education at four of the nine branches of Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech MARA (KUPTM) / Kolej Poly-Tech MARA (KPTM) in the context of private higher education institutions in Malaysia. This framework will help students, lecturers and administrators in higher education to tailor educational resources from their mobile devices that can be used anytime and anywhere.

Summary
Along with the evolving and evolution of information technology in today's digital world, the number of users using mobile devices such as smartphones, computer tablets, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) is on the rise. Ye Conghuan (2011) previously identified that managing and supplying educational resources to consumer applications was one of the key challenges for the higher education community. Traditional mode of education, where the transfer of knowledge is achieved through lectures, has some disadvantages, especially since students are not motivated enough to acquire knowledge actively and interactively. Hamdan et al, (2013) agrees and considers that the lecture room concept should be translated into a new environment as the field of education has changed in tandem with the current technological change. Suhazimah (2016) said that towards a developed nation with the people, the MAMPU is a key player in implementing initiatives to enhance service delivery by prioritizing the public to transform the public service delivery system towards the Digital Government.
