Students are flooded with enormous Internet-based information on their smartphones in their daily routine. Getting precise and relevant information on smartphones that assist students in their learning process is tedious and time consuming activity. This research explores the effective of Smart Mobile Adaptive App for Erudition and Teaching (SMART) in facilitating students in adaptive learning. SMART app is based on adaptive m-learning model consisting of six stages. SMART app latent variables which includes usefulness, ease of use, adaptiveness, spare time management and learning collaboration were measured and evaluated to reveal how much they contribute in assisting students in learning process. Moreover, different learning objects in form of different types of learning contents were evaluated when providing them on smartphones for adaptive learning characteristics. Final results revealed that m-learning can be a prodigious complementary instrument to outmoded classroom learning.
