This paper investigates what role the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use along-with one more factor the facilitating conditions play towards determining the behavioral intention to use of M-learning by university students. This study found that all three factors have a positive effect on the use of M-learning by university students. Further, perceived ease of use factor has been found as most influencing factor affecting the use of M-learning. The findings and suggestions of this study would be helpful in developing appropriate mechanism / policy / guidelines aiming to improve the overall learning experience of students by using the M-learning approach.
