Recently, HEIs have made significant investments in information technology for example Mobile learning and Cloud Computing to establish effective knowledge-sharing (KS) practices and to support knowledge sharing among students. Yet little is known about how cloud computing affects the development of M-learning and how M-learning affect knowledge sharing. This study aims to explore the impact of M-learning and cloud computing on knowledge sharing among students in HEIs. In this study, self-administered questionnaire which involved 418 students from seven public and private universities in Malaysia were gathered. The analysis results revealed that the technical barriers of M-learning have a negative impact on M-learning. While, cloud computing will increase the opportunities to meet the technical problems of M-learning. It is also found that M-learning has a positive impact on knowledge sharing. {\^A}{\copyright} 2018 IEEE.} }
