Abstract

M-Learning software development is a complex process, which require judicious handling of requirements during elicitation, analysis, specification, prioritization, and finally application development. This article establishes four basic requirements such as Mobile-computing Infrastructure, Instructional design and learning design, Human-mobile Interaction, Evolution of Learning content and Software that need to be captured during the requirement elicitation phase of M-Learning software development. The grouping of these requirements is the outcome generated from thorough analysis of number of failed projects in M-Learning. It has been found that a number of the M-Learning software fails to meet the objective due to in appropriate handling of these requirements. Moreover these requirements are interdependent thus affecting one another. For instance the size of learning content and user interface is affected due to limitations of mobile devices and internet connectivity. Hence it is very important to consider these requirements during M-Learning software development. In future these requirements will be incorporated in requirement elicitation phase of M-Learning Software Development Methodology. The study is a part of funded research project investigating Adoption, Development, and Dissemination of M-Learning.
