The development of technology has brought new development opportunities to education, in other words, mobile and remote learning have become an indispensable part of various schools. In addition, the impact of mobile and remote learning on students has attracted attention from all sectors of society. Mobile learning has been utilized in the process of teaching and learning in higher education, leading to various impacts on student learning outcomes. Many researchers have conducted empirical studies to explore how mobile learning impact student outcome in higher education institutions. To facilitate the use and design of mobile learning and improve teaching and learning in the digital age, there is a urgent need to review existing literature and identify benefits and challenges that ML lead to student learning outcomes. This study uses systematic literature review (SLR) to analyse 355 articles from Scopus and wos. Mobile learning bring benefit as follows: Providing Flexibility and Accessibility; Improving learning effectiveness;Developing internal motivation and positive attitude; Enhancing student engagement. On the other hand, mobile learning cause several challenges: current functions failed to complete leaning and teaching outcomes; Distracting user from knowledge learning; leading to vision impairment. I suggest further researcher to identify how ML influence teachers and teaching process.
