Education plays a very significant role in the context of sustainability. As the world population is growing, providing education through the traditional classroom setting is not sufficient and not feasible to extend learning in professional life. Therefore, modern technology-mediated learning paradigms such as mobile learning are becoming increasingly popular. Mobile learning is said to integrate multiple contexts, learning types, mobilities and communications. As information and communications technology (ICT) plays a vital role in the delivery of mobile learning services, it is very essential to adopt sustainable IT resources to keep it viable. Cloud computing offers a range of affordable, scalable and on-demand solutions. This paper attempts to model important critical success factors (CSFs) in the area of cloud-based mobile learning using the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique. ISM helps in identifying the hierarchical inter-relationships between the variables of study with the help of experts in the field. Finally, Matrice d’Impacts Croisés-Multiplication Appliquée á un Classement (MICMAC) analysis is employed to classify the variables into dependent and independent variables. Management support has been identified as most rudimentary among sixteen CSFs identified through a literature review to establish a distinguished relative advantage. Further, the paper discusses the theoretical underpinning of all the constructs. This study will help organizations to implement mobile learning in sustainable ways.
