Abstract: Technological advancements in wireless and broadband networks infrastructures have promoted the widespread distribution of mobile devices. Accordingly, content and software developers rushed to adapt their products, and to innovate and create appropriate services and applications to be used in the everyday life of mobile devices' users. Recent stats from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) unveiled that mobile broadband is the fastest-growing ICT service in history, and around 4 billion of the global mobile phone population have Internet access using their mobile devices. In light of these considerations, there is no doubt that mobile technologies are entirely changing our lives, including particularly the way we learn. Nevertheless, when trying to draw up the status of Arab mobile Apps development and use, several difficulties show up, mainly in relation to the very few available Arab mobile applications in international apps stores. Therefore, recognizing the potentials of mobile technologies and its status in the region, the Arab League Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (ALECSO), has proposed a Pan-Arab wide mobile initiative, aiming to promote the use and development of mobile applications in the Arab world, particularly in the fields of education, culture, science, and serious games. In this paper, we present an overview of the ALECSO mobile initiative, and we describe in details its related activities and implementations.

Abstract: Language is the primordial element for cultural transfer in indigenous communities; if it is not practiced, there is a risk of losing it and with it, a large part of the history of a community. Ecuador is a multicultural and multiethnic country with 18 indigenous peoples. Currently, in this country, some native languages are at risk of disappearing due to factors such as racial discrimination, underestimation of the language, and, above all, the lack of interest and motivation of the new generations to learn this language. Information technologies have made it possible to create mobile applications such as games, dictionaries, and translators that promote the learning of the Kichwa language. However, the acceptance of technology has not been evaluated, nor the intention to involve mobile devices in the process of teaching this language. Subsequently the objective of this work is to explore the acceptance of technology and the use of mobile devices to motivate the learning of the Kichwa language. For this purpose, the mobile application "Otavalo Rimay" was used with several students of a Kichwa language learning center. The methodology used to verify the hypothesis of this work was Design Sciences Research (DSR) together with the theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). The instrument used for this evaluation was a survey carried out after the use of the mobile application. The statistical analysis of the results obtained indicates characteristics such as the utility and perceived ease of use, positively influence students to motivate the use of mobile devices in learning a language.

Abstract: Mobile learning is the newest and emerging technology embraced by universities and this seems to be fast establishing itself as the preferred mode of learning in many countries. However, ways in which mobile devices are used to meet learning goals seem under-researched and may require more effort from researchers, especially in the context of Africa. This empirical study sought to investigate the state of mobile usage among higher education students, their experiences, and available facilitating conditions that influence mobile learning in a Ghanaian university setting. A total of 222 students (distance and vacation students) were engaged to respond to the questionnaires employed for the study. Findings revealed that mobile learning exists in a somewhat structured form as the environment showed most of the salient characteristics of mobile learning but largely remained unharnessed. To a large extent, facilitating conditions for mobile learning were available; students showed positive experiences with their mobile devices and their use in accessing learning, but largely such learning did not occur via the deployed learner management system of the institution. Implications for policy formulation for the Institution and other similar ones that are striving to incorporate mobile technology to increase access and improve the quality of instruction delivery are discussed.

Abstract: Abstract Background Although research continues to support task-shifting as an effective model of delivering evidence-based practices (EBPs), little scholarship has focused how to scale up and sustain task-shifting in low- and middle-income countries, including how to sustainably supervise lay counselors. Ongoing supervision is critical to ensure EBPs are delivered with fidelity; however, the resources and expertise required to provide ongoing supervision may limit the potential to scale up and sustain task shifting. Opportunities may exist to leverage mobile technology to replace or supplement in-person supervision in low-resource contexts, but contextual variables, such as network connectivity and lay counselor preferences surrounding mobile technology, must be examined and considered when designing and implementing mobile technology supervision. Methods This study builds from an existing randomized trial in Kenya, wherein teachers and community health volunteers have been trained to provide trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy as lay counselors. The study will use an iterative and mixed methods approach, with qualitative interviews and a Human-Centered Design (HCD) workshop informing a non-randomized pilot trial. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with lay counselors and supervisors to understand how mobile technology is currently being used for supervision and determine the barriers and facilitators to mobile technology supervision. Data from these interviews will inform an HCD workshop, where lay counselors and supervisors "re-design" supervision to most effectively leverage mobile technology. Workshop participants will also participate in focus groups to gather perceptions on the use of HCD techniques. The final outcome of the workshop will be a set of refined workflows, which will be tested in a mixed method, nonrandomized pilot with newly trained lay counselors and existing supervisors. The pilot trial will evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and usability of mobile technology supervision through self-report questionnaires as well as perceptions of effectiveness through qualitative interviews with a subset of lay counselors and all supervisors. Discussion This study will provide a launching point for future research on supervision and methods to engage stakeholders to design and tailor interventions and implementation supports to fit low-resourced contexts. Trial registration The parent trial from which this study builds was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov on August 9, 2017 ( NCT03243396 ).

Abstract: It is common for social scientists to consider building awareness interventions when faced with a social issue. The aim of which is to share knowledge about the issue at hand and inform society about the dangers, and possible responses. For example, raising awareness of healthy eating, including the benefits thereof and the dangers of lifestyle diseases. Or for raising awareness of information security, including the safe use of information technology resources about the dangers of technology abuse. One of the information security issues at hand is the bullying that takes place on mobile devices (mobile bullying), which has been increasing in recent years, especially among adolescents. The problem with mobile bullying is that it has severe consequences such as suicide and mental health difficulties. Despite current interventions, mobile bullying remains on the rise. The current study followed the design science research process to develop a digital artefact in the form of a chatbot to raise awareness of the mobile bullying social issue. The findings of this study reveal that information systems artefacts such as chatbots make awareness possible because they are easy to use, accessible to mobile device users, and allow for one-onone confidential conversations with the users in the privacy of their mobile devices. The use of a chatbot is also scalable and makes it easy to reach a large audience through mass communication of awareness messages. The conversational element allows the users to direct the conversation, as opposed to it being push notifications.

Abstract: Technology has evolved over the years from being simple machines to complex ones which are making work easier and faster than usual.Despite the influx of the mobile technology with its functions into the Ghanaian society, most people are still stuck to its voice call and other basic functionalities neglecting the economic and productivity enhancement ones.It is for these reasons that this is being carried out to find out the educational benefits of teachers using their phone technology to teach, the cost benefits that major stakeholders stand to gain when teachers use their mobile phone technology to teach and last but not the list streamline ways by which teachers can effectively use their mobile phone technology in their lesson delivery.The study used the descriptive research design adopting the mixed-method approach.The research adopted the use of survey questionnaire and interview guide.Major findings made from the study showed that about 92% of teachers used smart mobile devices but just for personal reasons.The teachers did not use the functions of their mobile phone devices to support their teaching process.They, however, saw the educational and cost benefits of using their mobile phones technology to teach.They, therefore, needed training workshops to equip them to make adequate use of their mobile phone technology to enhance their teaching.The study however recommended to the government through the ministry of education to develop a basic school's mobile app to help arouse the interest of teachers coupled with reduced tariffs from telecommunication networks operators.

Abstract: Background and Objectives: COVID-19 led to quarantine and mandatory spatial distancing, making mobile technology critical in receiving information and services. Age differences were discovered in many aspects of mobile technology use; however, we lack knowledge about age differences in mobile technology use under the impact of COVID-19. Thus, this cross-sectional study investigated age differences in mobile technology use behavior and perceptions during COVID-19. Research Design and Methods: We distributed a pilot-tested survey online. Participants were ≥35 years old, English speakers, and mobile technology users who lived in the United States. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: Participants were categorized into three age groups, 35-49 (n=391, 45% female), 50-64 (n=435, 62% female), and ≥65 (n=386, 59% female). Each group significantly increased use frequency and perceived necessity to use mobile technology during COVID-19. People aged 35-49 reported using video/music entertainment more commonly than others, and people aged ≥65 reported more commonly using mobile technology for navigation and ordering taxi/car services during COVID-19 than those aged 35-49. We found no significant difference among groups regarding valuing social and emotional benefits and ease of use in deciding to use mobile technology during COVID-19. Discussion and Implications: COVID-19 impacted mobile technology use in all ages, but age groups were found to use mobile technology for different purposes. Still, people of all ages increased their interest in the benefits of using mobile technology and decreased their focus on ease of use. COVID-19 coincidentally created a suitable environment to introduce mobile technology remote services widely to an aging population.
