There is a need to reach viable design for initiatives in mobile learning and researchers are faced with a magnitude of factors to consider. The work to identify and access stakeholders and acknowledge their requirement is a difficult task. Most mobile learning initiatives often follow an evolutionary development process where the system is constructed, evaluated, and refined in increments. During this process, the stakeholders and their needs might change, so even if there was an initial understanding, it might not be correct after one or more increments. In this paper we studied three initiatives with a focus on how they dealt with stakeholders during the development process and finds that the three initiatives deal with stakeholders in an on-demand fashion. New groups of stakeholders are considered when needed, and this leads to a development process that is a mix between sequential and evolutionary, which results in inflexible system solutions. In order to improve on this, stakeholders need to be regarded in a more inclusive fashion, where they are considered as part of the entire development process.
