Mobile learning readiness for promoting student attitude and knowledge construction is an emerging trend to integrate technology into educational settings. The successful implementation of mobile devices has the potential to enhance learning. In this sense, blended learning environments combining the strengths of traditional learning and the strengths of mobile learning can be considered as a promising trend. This paper aims to examine the effective integration of mobile learning into blended learning environments in order to determine the impacts of these learning environments on students’ learning acquisition, academic achievements and attitude. This literature review selected twenty-two peer-reviewed journal articles according to the pre-determined criteria (E. g., studies using a quantitative research design such as quasi-experimental and experimental, etc. or types of research designs such as mixed-method, case study, etc. including at least a quantitative aspect in their data collection procedure) and carefully analyzed these articles to extract reliable and meaningful information from them. The findings demonstrate that the integration of mobile technologies into a blended learning environment significantly influences students’ learning acquisition in a positive way although there are few empirical findings from the reviewed articles which highlight no significant effect on their learning acquisition. With regard to student attitude, students were satisfied and motivated to use mobile technologies in blended learning environments for academic purposes according to the majority of the reviewed articles.
