In this paper, a new paradigm of thinking pertaining to a novel holistic intelligent campus (iCampus) environment is proposed to transform the end-to-end learning lifecycle of the knowledge ecosystem. To illustrate part of the concept, this study will look into the various issues of a smart mobile learning (mlearning) system, in order to highlight the application of context-aware collaborative learning in an intelligent campus environment. The mlearning system should be able to learn and adapt to the profile of the individual and provide context-aware applications and services that are relevant to that particular student at the right place and at the right time.
