Abstract:
In 2021, education using a mobile phone has become an immensely popular means of delivering and accessing learning content. Learners and instructors have become unbound from their desktop and  laptop machines and now enjoy the portability and ubiquitous nature of mobile phones in their educational endeavors. Within the mobile learning platforms, there are five elements that are involvedâ€”the user, the mobile device, the wireless network, the learning management system, and the computer network(s) that host the wireless networks and/(or) the learning management
system. Each of these five areas are susceptible to security threats and therefore must be hardened to become more resilient to attacks.
