Paper Title
The Integration of Mobile Learning (M-Learning) Into All-Female Classrooms at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU): Examples and Challenges
Abstract
This study explores perceptions of mobile learning (m-learning) amongst teachers at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU), with regard to the use of mobile devices in the classroom and the challenges facing their integration. Seven faculty members were interviewed to obtain detailed data on the current status of m-learning at IAU, as well as their views on improving it. The results revealed that mobile devices are used successfully in different ways to facilitate classroom teaching and learning at IAU, but several barriers were mentioned, such as the potential violation of privacy and distraction in class. The teachers therefore expressed a desire for ground rules or apps to control the non-academic use of mobile devices in the classroom.
