Incorporation of e-learning and mobile web technology in the education produces significant positive impacts to the students. These technologies are able to complement the weaknesses of current practices in teaching and learning. This paper presents Mobile School conceptual model that has been developed for secondary schools in Malaysia. This model is developed by integrating the potential concepts and theories to solve the problems related to teaching and learning in Malaysian secondary schools. Validation of this model has been conducted using questionnaire instrument where the questionnaire has been distributed to 407 respondents including school administrators, teachers, students and parents. The analysis showed that the variables that have been integrated in the model could solve the identified problems. The variables are also important to be implemented in mobile learning (m-learning) system development for secondary schools in Malaysia. © 2016 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved.
