Researchers have examined the learning aspect with a view todevelopment; researchers have linked learning with technology. Academics and technicianshave discoveredmany concepts in relation to Mobile Learning. Given theresearch it has been observed that the current academic literature covers several aspects of these concepts. These include the student and teacher perspective and the learning environment and the consequent tools utilized. In relation to the Case Study in Oman, our practical research investigates the student acceptance and design of a secure framework for the implementation of Mobile Learning. Also the student research subject needs to evaluate the security issues in Mobile Learning and provide recommendations necessary for an enhanced framework.
