In the era of globalization with increased mobility, the learning process is becoming more and more ubiquitous. To satisfy the growing industry requirements and also to enhance the educational growth, it becomes necessary to incorporate new and innovative technologies in to the educational system. Hence to improve the learning system, Mobile learning has been implemented by many colleges and universities. In addition Cloud computing technology has become popular that can reduce the storage cost incurred in Mobile learning. This model of Mobile learning in the Cloud has a number of advantages and has now become a new stage for Knowledge Management in the educational institutions. This paper presents a discussion on how a Knowledge Management system is implemented using Mobile learning in the Cloud with the associated merits and demerits.
