The effectiveness of its leadership, knowledge, application and management of ICT and learning management system is of utmost important. Successful application and management includes quality and cost effectiveness of universities administration, CAML and distance education leadership development, organizational culture, academic staffs and studentsâ?? attitude and their commitment towards teaching and learning process, support towards the usage of state of the art techno-educational facilities, availability of ICT resources, maintenance and funding of a Learning Management System.

Selected Fifty-two respondents from two Malaysian public universities which offer e Learning and distance education with Learning Management System were acquired. A survey questionnaire is used to determine the effectiveness of ICT and mobile learning application management.

To most Malaysians, the concept of application of ICT and e learning in teaching and learning is just the usage of prepared guided education shareware and software to teach computer literacy and computer science for form four student who later will sit for the public examination at upper secondary level
All the Malaysian mega techno educational projects has set the platform of computer assisted mobile learning for the in-campus but a very good base for the distance and e learning education in the tertiary level when public university start equip themselves with the advance Technology Enhanced Learning Management System (TELMS)
Summary
The strong awareness of the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) in education has encouraged The Malaysian Ministry of Education and educationists throughout the country to explore the possibility of its usage in the computer enhanced teaching and learning process. The introduction of ICT laboratories in all secondary schools throughout the country starting from 1996 is the earliest ICT and e-learning projects by the Malaysian government (MOE (C) 1996). To most Malaysians, the concept of application of ICT and e learning in teaching and learning is just the usage of prepared guided education shareware and software to teach computer literacy and computer science for form four student who later will sit for the public examination at upper secondary level. All the Malaysian mega techno educational projects has set the platform of computer assisted mobile learning for the in-campus but a very good base for the distance and e learning education in the tertiary level when public university start equip themselves with the advance Technology Enhanced Learning Management System (TELMS). The main concern in this study is how effective the education leadership in managing of TELMS which will yield quality CAML by using laptops and PDAs in the Malaysian public universities which cater the philosophy of ‘Education for All’
