Abstract: Mobile learning is gaining high momentum and popularity. In order to develop effective Mobile Learning Applications (MLAs), it is important to consider quality requirements. MLAs should satisfy the learner's needs while enhancing the learning quality. This paper presents a framework for MLA requirements, where the mobile learner performs an educational activity supported by context aware adaptations. It presents and analyses four requirements' dimensions: educational, socio-cultural, economical, and technical. Either the teacher, or the learner himself, or the system will select the appropriate parameters for the particular learner at the particular situation.
