Abstract
Mobile devices are increasingly being adopted in educational institutions to help students in their learning process. These technologies significantly affect the motivation of and the collaboration among students in their learning activities. These technologies bring numerous benefits to the students, teachers, and school administrators, which have greatly contributed to their increasing popularity in the education sector over the last decade. Iraqi citizens residing in Malaysia are demanding for quick, cheap, and accessible education, which this study aims to satisfy by designing M-School, a mobile application that supports the distance education of Iraqi students who are studying in faraway schools in Kuala Lumpur.
