Mobile technology has influenced almost every aspect of our modern lives. The enhancement of learning in Saudi Arabia, as well as significant development in education overall, may be possible through mobile learning. However, the successful implementation of mobile learning in tertiary education profoundly relies on the acceptance of mobile learning from both students and instructors. Most mobile learning acceptance studies target higher education students. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the factors that affect university instructors' intentions to use mobile learning at Hail University. Eighty instructors completed the online survey, and the results indicated that performance experience, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions altogether predicted the instructors' use of mobile learning, as 67% of the variation was found to be affected by these variables in the multiple regression analysis outcome. The results also suggested that effort expectancy is the best predictor of instructors' behavioural intentions to use mobile learning.

The use of online teaching has increased rapidly, especially since the start of the global pandemic of COVID-19. K–12 teachers in Saudi Arabia, like many teachers globally, found themselves with a new way of teaching because of the pandemic. Thus, this study examined the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) in elementary school teachers’ acceptance of online learning. We tested whether UTAUT’s four key factors (performance expectancy; effort expectancy; social influence; and facilitating conditions) affect Saudi Arabian elementary school teachers’ acceptance of using online learning. We found that performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions altogether predicted teachers’ use of online learning as the analysis of the multiple regression outcome found that 60.2% of the variation was affected by these variables.

With the rapid adoption of technology in the education sector, a paradigm shift from traditional learning methods to digital learning has been experienced. This article focuses on the importance of ensuring equity in the use of technology among learners, as it relates to their right to access educational technology. While the issue of digital transformation in education is a shared responsibility among educators, this article discusses it from a comprehensive perspective. Supposedly, equity in educational technology access is an issue addressed by researchers in different school settings, including researchers in science in K-12 settings. This article describes how assessment and evaluation could make a difference among learners when it comes to enhancing their capacity to access and use technology in learning. The article concludes with some recommendations for educational technology policymakers to ensure that all students have the same opportunity in accessing educational technology in a bid to avoid a digital divide among learners.
