Abstract

This study highlights the most pertinent m-learning content quality features that should be considered by designers from the point of view of experts to determine students' perceptions about suggested quality features and to measure any statistically significant differences in students' perceptions due to their gender and technological skills. An exploratory sequential mixed research method was employed. A group of 20 experts in m-learning answered an open-ended question for the qualitative part, and a questionnaire with 31 items was answered by a purposeful sample of 200 students out of the entire population of 312 from seven Jordanian universities. The results revealed a list of content quality features. The overall perception of students was high with a mean of 4.15 and no statistically significant differences in students' perceptions due to their gender and technological skills. The study recommended studying the effectiveness of m-learning content features in Jordanian higher education institutions.

The Problem Of The Study

The unprecedented wide spreading of COVID-19 has transformed the paradigm of the teaching and learning process. In Jordan, universities have launched compulsory distance education programs such as m-learning to avoid community health threats triggered by the pandemic. However, so far, there is a need to reconsider the methods of designing m-learning content in emergency e-learning environments as many instructors and students were not prepared for such e-environments through mobile and distance learning.

After reviewing many scientific studies related to m-learning, it is noted that most of these did not address the quality of the learning content to be developed for m-learning, as most studies focused on general criteria and loose points without considering the details related to the skills of the twenty-first century.
