<p>Mobile learning (m-learning) is one of the most critical technological environment of distance learning in higher education institutes. The m-learning provides a widespread access to mobile devices networks and the possibility to learn regardless of time and place, unlike other learning services that depend on the location of the user. The research objectives of this study is investigate and determine the possibility of acceptance in m-Learning and examine the main factors that affect using m-Learning in higher education students in Saudi Arabia. The method tool is quantitative approach using questionnaire method to collect around 400 participants of universities students who are study in e-learning system in various collages in the universities. The survey was distributed electronically via self-selected and social network channels.</p><p>The study is applied Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework. The framework focuses to determine the factors that influence the students’ intention to use M-Learning via smart mobile devices. The numbers of distance learning in some Saudi universities are increased gradually in the last five years. Also, the Saudi electronic university in Saudi Arabic has been established 2011.</p>The smart phone devices are one of popular usage in Saudi audience and eMarketer reports, it was reached around 73% of publication of internet user to in Saudi Arabia and third global country for using the smartphone depending on the number of population. It is beneficial to determine the factor that influencing to accept of M-Learning in education field generally and in higher education in particular.
This paper presents findings from a study of e-commerce adoption by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in
Saudi Arabia. Only tiny number of Saudi commercial organizations, mostly medium and large companies from
the manufacturing sector, in involved in e-commerce implementation. The latest report released in 2010 by The
Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) in Saudi Arabia shows that only 8% of
businesses sell online. Accordingly new research has been conducted to explore to what extent electronic mall
(e-mall) would enable SMEs in Saudi Arabia to adopt and use online channels for their sales. A quantitative
analysis of responses obtained from a survey of 108 SMEs in Saudi Arabia was conducted. The main results of
the current analysis demonstrate the significant of organizational factors, and technology and environmental
factors. Interestingly, traditional & cultural factors have no significance in this regard
This paper reports on an exploration of the factors that attract consumers to buy online in Saudi Arabia. Few
companies in that country have enabled business sites, but most of them are keen to present product information
on their sites rather than have an online sales process. According to the latest report was issued in 2010 from the
Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) in Saudi Arabia, there are only 8% of
businesses have online purchase channel; in contrast 54% of companies have websites only to present products.
Accordingly, new research has been conducted to explore the attraction of customers in Saudi Arabia to buy
from businesses online. This will assist the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector, which represents 90%
of companies in Saudi Arabia, to increase communication channels with its customers electronically. A
quantitative survey was conducted on a random sample of 381 consumer participants from Saudi Arabia who
were interested to buy online to see what factors would attract them to online shopping. Several factors emerged
as attracting factors which were divided into organizational, technical, and cultural factors.
Mobile learning (m-learning) is one of the most technological environments used in higher education distance learning programmes. M-learning provides students with widespread access to classroom resources via mobile devices' networks and the possibility to learn regardless of their time and place. Many studies have shown the importance of the relationship between electronic systems and communities' traditions, because their increasing levels of acceptance depend on many moderators that directly affect the acceptance of M-learning communities. This study aims to verify the influence of demographic moderators in the UTAUT model to increase the level of learning perspectives acceptance via mobile in specific higher education communities and institutions. In the present study, the specific community is Saudi Arabia (KSA). The gender separation found in all stages of the Saudi education system is based on religious policies rooted in an Islamic perspective. Using m-learning smartphone applications could be helpful, yet also affected by traditional factors, in supporting women's efforts in higher education institutions in conservative countries such as KSA. The experiences that we uncover in KSA could be applied in other communities. The method used in the study is a quantitative approach based on a questionnaire completed by roughly 400 university students who are studying, at least in part, via their colleges' and universities' m-learning systems. The main objective of the study is to lead to a gradual increase in the number of remote learning students in many Saudi universities over the next five years according to Saudi vision 2030. With the conservative policies pursued in KSA in mind, women face a significant challenge in completing various education paths; thus, providing m-learning through electronic channels, such as mobile applications, could assist them significantly as they face these challenges.
