“…Notably, in contrast to Perceived Usefulness (PU), the influence of PEOU (β = 0.513) emerges as more pronounced on MCC adoption. These findings align with expectations and corroborate with analogous empirical studies conducted in a comparable context (Al-Hajri et al, 2021;Oliveira et al, 2014).…”

“…Therefore, the empirical evidence supports the argument that the intention to adopt mobile cloud computing is positively influenced by the users' beliefs regarding its usefulness. Similar studies and research in the field of IS/IT adoption have also found that perceived usefulness significantly affects cloud computing adoption (Al-Hajri et al, 2021;Almaiah & Al-Khasawneh, 2020;Hussein Alghushami et al, 2020). The results suggest that universities recognize the potential benefits of mobile cloud computing, such as enhancing students' academic performance and providing access to learning materials anytime and anywhere.…”

The integration of mobile learning applications has emerged as indispensable in higher education, yet the widespread adoption of mobile cloud computing technology within university settings remains limited in developing countries. This research seeks to bridge this gap by elucidating the primary factors influencing the decision to adopt mobile cloud computing in universities. To attain this objective, a comprehensive model is proposed, encompassing seven established technological factors along with novel considerations such as quality of service and social influence. The study involves data collection from 210 students and academic staff An-Najah National University in Palestine. The investigation underscores the paramount influence of quality of service, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, facilitating conditions, social influence, management support, and privacy on mobile cloud adoption. Furthermore, the research brings to light the persistent concerns surrounding security and privacy, serving as significant impediments to mobile cloud adoption in Palestinian Universities. The implications of these findings extend to higher educational institutions, mobile cloud service providers, and decision-makers. The identified factors serve as critical considerations for successful implementation of mobile cloud computing technology. Moreover, the research sheds light on the societal and scientific significance by addressing the motivation behind the title—exploring the utility of Mobile Computing Technology in enhancing educational processes.

“…Other research by Lee et al [21] provided suggestions on how to effectively implement synchronous online reverse learning in teacher training programs during COVID-19, which can be leveraged in regular basic education in Peru as long as the education system is digitized. Also in the research conducted by Al-Hajri et al [22] aimed to discover the key factors influencing the acceptance and use of cloud computing systems in the education sector, with special emphasis on the outbreak of COVID-19. The findings revealed that the intention to use cloud computing in this context depends significantly on its perceived ease of use, usefulness, perceived reliability, and responsiveness.…”

This research project aimed to give a perspective on the implementation of technologies in basic education in Peru. How the automation of basic education processes in Peru helps students, parents, teachers, and administrative staff to reduce time, to have better educational quality, and to obtain indicators for the teacher and student. The methodology of the research is a sequence of activities that allow us to design a framework for process technologies in basic education in Peru. Based on online surveys, it was possible to obtain information from people who want a change in the processes of education, such as: having more reach to information with the help of the internet for which mobile applications or web applications are needed, the delivery of evaluations and enrolment via online, taking advantage of technology for the benefit of the student and teachers, and other processes. The research has a qualitative approach. It is also descriptive in scope with the help of other studies or tests conducted. For the creation of this article, we used surveys, scientific journals, and our own experience as practitioners. If we want to improve education, it is necessary to improve educational processes with the help of technology and the internet.

Purpose This study aims to explore the antecedents of donors’ attitudes toward fundraising campaigns to fight COVID-19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the pandemic crisis. This manuscript identified how moderating effects of ethical dimensions can strengthen the relationship between trust in charity and charity projects with their attitude to raise funds to mitigate pandemic repercussions. Design/methodology/approach This study follows a quantitative approach by administering survey instruments to collect the data from the sample of respondents. A total of 391 responses were obtained adopting snowball sampling and analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM) to derive meaningful results for path analysis. Findings The findings of this study indicate that certain insights need to be considered to trigger the donors’ attitude toward raising or participating in charity-oriented campaigns, especially during pandemic situations. For instance, organizing more transformable processes in charity projects and establishing more trust factors among donors is highly essential in charity activities. Similarly, promoting ethical dimensions of the donors toward supporting the vulnerable more effectively and encouraging them to participate or organize philanthropic activities certainly benefit and support this noble cause. Practical implications This study will help the government and nonprofit organizations in devising their campaigns for raising funds. The findings of this study suggest that ethics is an important consideration and driver for donors in philanthropy-serving organizations and individuals. Originality/value This research contributes to the literature on donation and philanthropic studies focusing on fundraising campaigns attitudes during COVID-19. This study contributes influential factors and attitudes of individuals and organizations toward charity and philanthropic service.
