Recently Mobile technology is considered an effective way to improve students' skills such as positive thinking, collaborative, communication, as well as it is considered the main part of major innovation in many e-learning research areas. As a result of the 21<sup>st.</sup> century requirements, skills were developed to address the rising needs in higher education which causes a shifting paradigm from the traditional methods of teaching to M-learning. In this research, we discuss the effect of using Mobile learning techniques to improve learning outcomes in Higher Education. We have implemented a web-based survey through two questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed among 200 students in the second and third levels in the computer science department at both Community College and College of Arts and Science. This research explores a study on e-learning using mobile technology to identify students’ perceptions in the acceptance of mobile techniques and recognize the quality of mobile services for academic and social purposes to improve teaching strategy and learning performance in higher educational organizations. The outcomes of this research would support the evolution of M-learning at the university-level and cause shifting the traditional learning methods by merging M-learning methodologies as a learning management system that provides mobile learning services to students and teachers any time and from any location. The research study shows some important results towards the integration of mobile technology into teaching include: student positive perception, facilitates student concentrate, flexible access to m-services for learning materials, and increases students' skills in using mobile technology for e-learning.

Different approaches to stimulating perceptions in learning can be easily designed with technology-enhanced learning systems. This study aimed to explore how different approaches can influence learners' perceptions that may negatively or positively affect their learning performance of writing Chinese characters using the correct Chinese order of strokes (COS). We therefore designed an e-learning system which was subdivided into two modes: stroke-appearing (i.e., using red to mark incorrect strokes) and stroke-disappearing (i.e., using blanks to mark incorrect strokes) to indicate strokes written in the incorrect order. We then investigated the modes that would facilitate a higher level of attention and better learning outcomes. A total of 10 third-grade elementary school students participated in the experiment, divided into two test groups. Their EEG data were collected, and time series analysis and t-tests were utilized to analyze the differences. The results indicated that: (1) there was a significant difference in the attention levels of the students practicing with the stroke-appearing and stroke-disappearing modes when learning COS, and (2) there was a significant difference in the learning outcomes of the students practicing with the stroke-appearing and stroke-disappearing modes when learning COS. These findings support the specific role of stroke order knowledge in learning Chinese characters and the need for the design of an effective method for teaching children to learn Chinese characters.

The most important results of the study: The emergence of the most important obstacles affecting students' adaptation to e-learning programs, including poor electronic skill, weak communication networks, and political and security instability constitutes frustration. Great in adapting to the requirements of e-learning, the family burdens of those married to them, the difficulty of understanding scientific lessons, the weakness of trust between family members, the magnitude of the scientific material that leads to the frustration of the student, and the state’s lack of interest in providing e-learning techniques. As for the specialization, the study showed the occupation of an obstacle of weakness Communication networks without benefiting from e-learning were ranked first, and with regard to gender, the students ’economic weakness came first among males with an average of (4.33), and fifth among females with an average of (4.32). The magnitude of the scientific material leading to student frustration ranked second among males with an average of (4.32) and the second among females with an average of (4.43), and the complaint came equally among both sexes, which shows us the importance of this obstacle and taking into account the exceptional circumstance, this is what the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research emphasized in taking into account the students ’social conditions. As for the social situation, the student’s weakness of the economic aspect was a major obstacle to the first place among married people and the last rank among singles, and this phenomenon came as a result of the prevalence of the phenomenon of early marriage for both sexes, which is a phenomenon that leads With the youth due to the lack of adaptation as a result of the early burdens that fall on their shoulders as they draw their future, they have a double role to fulfill the requirements of daily life. Also, the obstacle of the enormity of the scientific material that leads to the frustration of the student occupied the third rank among the married and the second among the bachelors, which is a close result and has already appeared to the same degree in As for the rest of the variables, as for the social environment, the obstacle of the state’s lack of interest in providing e-learning technologies came second in both environments, and this is an indication that it is an urgent need for the Ministry of Higher Education to put it among the priorities by providing audio laboratories and other modern science techniques. One of the most important recommendations: is to mobilize all The scientific and skillful capabilities of a faculty member whose role has become an organizer and facilitator of the training process Badly; In order for the new experience to succeed, as for the ministry, it is incumbent upon the ministry to provide appropriate conditions by providing audio laboratories and other modern learning techniques, and coordinating between the Ministry of Higher Education and Communications to support the Western Region by providing electronic reception and broadcasting devices, and holding training courses for faculty members for e-learning and urging them to own Good skill, lightening the momentum of the process article to suit the requirements of the stage.
