“…For an outline of the review's four studies, please refer to Table 2. Thus, the review's four studies re-affirmed what was reported by the historical perspective's other four studies (Alshehri, Rutter & Smith, 2019;Mutambik, 2018;Oyaid & Alshaya, 2019;Sharma, 2019;). Students' perspectives of e-learning for ESL/EFL learning in Saudi universities were positive attesting to its many benefits with some minor drawbacks.…”

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a world pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30, 2020. As a safety measure to protect people, most governments in the world, including Saudi Arabia, decided to close universities and workplaces. Prompted by this shut down, the researchers aimed to review the students� perceptions of e-learning for ESL/EFL in Saudi universities at this Coronavirus time. As such, this review reported on four primary studies that were found relevant to its focus during the period from January 2020 till April 2020 (Abu-Ayfah, 2020; Ahmad, 2020; Alshehri & Cumming, 2020; Hakami, 2020). As a historical perspective of the review�s focus, it also reported on other four primary studies dating back to 2018 and 2019 (Alshehri, Rutter & Smith, 2019; Mutambik, 2018; Oyaid & Alshaya, 2019; Sharma, 2019). The review�s objectives were to report: 1) students� perceptions of e-learning for ESL/EFL, 2) benefits of e-learning for ESL/EFL, and 3) drawbacks of e-learning for ESL/EFL in Saudi universities. Moreover, this review was compared to a conference paper from China (He, 2020) as it presented a strategy to continue college English learning and teaching at Coronavirus time. Results showed students� positive views, many benefits and limited drawbacks of e-learning for ESL/EFL in Saudi universities.Keywords: e-learning; ESL/EFL; students� perceptions; benefits and drawbacks; Saudi education.

“…Inductive Content Analysis Method helped to determine the direction of implementing usability criteria on the platform "Higher School Mathematics Teacher". We agree with the scientists A. Alshehri et al [6] that the most important criterion of usability design is Information Quality that describes the correspondence of the information in the system to learners' needs. We have also considered Y. Nilsen's and H. Loranger's point of view [18] who point out that the efficiency of any application work and its attractiveness for the user depend on search engine and navigation, downloading speed, menu design.…”

“…While highlighting and describing six criteria of usability design, A. Alshehri et al [6] formulated and carried out the research of these criteria concerning their importance for students: 1) Information Quality (IQ), 2) System Navigation (SN), 3) System Learnability (SL), 4) Visual Design (VD), 5) Instructional Assessment (IA), 6) System Interactivity (SI).…”

The article addresses the issue of implementing the usability principles of educational internet resources. The paper debates the latest researches on the question concerning the search for the factors that influence the results of online education. The analysis, which we carried out, allowed us to focus on such known six criteria of usability design as Information Quality, System Navigation, System Learnability, Visual Design, Instructional Assessment, and System Interactivity and suggest the existence of the seventh criterion named Responsiveness. The research considers the principles of usability implementation following the example of the open platform of online education "Higher School Mathematics Teacher". The answers given by 203 respondents during the survey allowed defining the direction of implementing the usability criteria on the platform. We were eager to know the opinion of teachers and students, who became the first users of the platform. The article discusses the criteria implementation while developing online courses on the platform. There was ground to conclude that when designing on-line platform courses, all seven usability subcategories are important.

“…These drivers led students to feel the LP usefulness and to have fun using it. In this perspective, Alshehri et al (2019) investigated the relative importance of the design criteria developed for evaluating the LP usability. Alshehri et al (2019) stated that the IQ is the most important determining factor for the use of LPs.…”

Information quality (IQ) is a multidisciplinary area that can be understood as a measure of the value that information provides to its consumer. In order to obtain it, in the learning ecosystem, it is necessary to take into account the increasingly important role of learning platforms (LP). The purpose of this article was to analyze the IQ impact on LP. For this, an integrative literature review was conducted. Analysis of this field shows that IQ has a significant impact on LP, as it increases user satisfaction, favors the use, positively influences the intention of continuity and is an essential factor for the mobile learning acceptance.
