| Abstract: | Out of their homes, Saudi women are imposed to be accompanied by their male guardians. Therefore, they suffer to complete their education. To overcome this obstacle, they currently use mobile learning (mLearning) -- in the form of social networking apps such as WhatsApp or Twitter -- to keep in touch with their instructors. Being specified for educational purposes, the present study used ClassDojo and Edmodo as alternatives to these apps for unlocking the potentials of mLearning for female education in KSA. Employing a quantitative, one-group design, a questionnaire was conducted for collecting data during the 2nd Semester of the academic year 2017/2018. It aimed at determining the positive perceptions of 15 Saudi female students enrolled in the last level of a teacher education programme towards mLearning. |
