This study investigated the impact of developing learning app via handheld devices based on some self-regulated learning strategies for improving English writing skills and motivation among intensive English language preparatory program students. The sample was chosen from English language preparation program students at college of sciences and Arts. The random sample consisted of (n=40) students. Those students were divided into two similar groups, Experimental and Control groups. To collect the data of the study, the Authors used a pre-posttest, interviews with the students and a motivation scale. T-test was used to compare between the two groups at the pre and post-test. The results revealed an observed improvement in writing skills, motivation, and attitudes for the benefit of experimental group. Moreover, the findings revealed that there were statistical differences between pre and post-test for the experimental group. No differences were found, according to the control group.

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) represent the virtual learning environment that provides learning needs, adapts to the characteristics of learners according to their cognitive and behavioral aspects, to reach desired learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of embedding some adaptation levels within intelligent tutoring systems on developing Object-Oriented Programming skills (OOP), as well as on learning efficiency for students of the computer science department, Faculty of Science and Arts at Qassem University. In this context, the author developed an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that provides multiple levels of adaptation (Learner level, links level) to support automatic adaptation to each of the students' characteristics and investigate the effectiveness of the system on dependent variables. The random sample consisted of (n=44) students. Those students were divided into two similar groups, Experimental an (ITS), and Control (face-to-face, traditional). The findings revealed that there was a noticeable improvement in the students' performance for the experimental group than the control group how used faceto-face method for the programming skills and learning efficiency.
