“…This finding corroborates the study of Hsu (2013) indicating that M-learning has proved to offer many benefits and provide a myriad of opportunities for EFL learning. However, users" experience, IT infrastructure, and management issues including institutional policies may potentially become influential factors on the success of mobile devices adoption in the classroom (Alsswey & Al-Samarraie, 2019).…”

“…However, empirical research with regard to university students" perceptions towards the integration of mobile devices into an informal assessment procedure is relatively less well documented, particularly in EFL context in Indonesia. The probable causes are with respect to the way the teacher perceives their use and functionality (Yunus, 2007, cited in Golshan & Tafazoli, 2014, a low-level experience of users or technophobia of educators (Celik, 2013), and IT infrastructure investment (Alsswey & Al-Samarraie, 2019;Celik, 2013;French et al, 2014). Hence, this current study aims to seal the gap in those existing literature.…”

This study is an endeavor to depict undergraduate students’ perception of a digital game-based learning (DGBL) platform called Kahoot! integrated into the undergraduate students’ learning. To this end, a sequential explanatory study was employed. Undergraduate students from a private university in Indonesia (N=21) agreed to participate in this study. A web-based five-point Likert scale questionnaire was developed to examine their perceptions of this platform. A focus-group interview was also conducted to detect their in-depth feelings. The results indicated that they positively appreciated the integration of this tool into classroom instructions. Implications, conclusion and limitations were then discussed.

“…Currently, the significant advancement of telecommunication technologies in educational contexts has gradually migrated the teaching-learning processes from traditional textbook-based lecturing (Tan & Liu, 2016) or "chalk and talk" teaching (Licorish et al, 2018) to a new mode of learning with the ample opportunities to collaborate and sharing teaching-learning resources. In this way, the utilization of mobile devices for learning (M-learning) has become a vital component to settle this issue as it can serve enormous potential benefits in increasing the quality of instruction such as ubiquitous and collaborative learning environment (Crescente & Lee, 2011;Heflin et al, 2017;Kukulska-Hulme & Viberg, 2018), flexibility & portability (Kumar & Chand, 2019;Şad & Göktaş, 2014;Zhonggen et al, 2019), cost-effectiveness and time-efficient (Alsswey & Al-Samarraie, 2019), improving cognitive development, autonomous, and creativity (Pereira et al, 2019), as well as facilitating knowledge exchange and students' interactions (Al-Emran et al, 2016). In short, the evolution of teaching-learning process is shifted from traditional face to face (F2F) classroom to virtual environment.…”

Now, EFL pedagogical practices have gradually transformed from traditional classrooms into digital learning. Within this context, mobile devices have now been considered as an auspicious medium for future learning. This study investigated how EFL instructors from different secondary education institutions viewed the in-class use of Kahoot in English-language classrooms. To this end, they were invited to fill a 13-items web-based questionnaire covering several categories: factual, behavioral, and attitudinal. Twenty-seven (n=27) Indonesian EFL instructors in secondary education at both public and private high schools mostly located in East Java, Indonesia, voluntarily participated in this present study by completing the online survey. The results indicated that participants mostly demonstrated positive feelings toward the utilization of Kahoot in EFL classrooms. It showed that Kahoot was perceived as a promising software application to enhance the English-language learning process. To explore the effectiveness of this online game-based platform, more future-related research with large-scale participants in broader geographic regions should be carried out in this area.

“…Somehow, other notions including learning personalization in which they are grounded on IT, have been around for some time. The concept of PLE first emerged some time in year 2001 [9] but it did not gain considerable interest until November 2004 when it became a topic of discussion in the JISC / CETIS Conference in the same year.…”

Electronic Learning (E-Learning) evolves consistently. An effective eLearning has unrelenting readiness in integrating new paradigms while the students become the core of the process. In this regard, the current tools are replaced by others, with customization under consideration. Somehow, changes are costly and should not be merely focusing on replacing all past initiatives but also should attempt to combine the new initiatives with the successful ones, in order that the great robustness and effectiveness of learning environments could be assured. Accordingly, the presently available integration initiatives will be reviewed in this paper. A new initiative will be proposed as well.
