“…On the other hand, instructors' technology readiness towards adopting e-learning technologies in Egypt and UAE was also examined through an exploratory study which found evidence for relationship between instructors' technology, attitude, and behavioural intentions to adopt e-learning technologies. It also found that human interaction is equally important to instructors in both countries (El Alfy, 2016).…”

“…Nevertheless, a more recent study conducted by Alfy, Gómez, and Ivanov (2017) showed that young individuals in Egypt and UAE still prefer faceto-face communication when learning, which indicates that this Arab cultural value might not have completely changed yet. Despite some changes in the Arab culture, however, culturespecific values still have a significant effect on how people behave -whether online or face to face (Al Omoush et al, 2012;El Alfy et al, 2017). Straub et al (2001) found that culturespecific beliefs and values affect IT system outcomes, which the authors define as actual use of or intention to use a technology system.…”

This is the first research to study gender differences among consumers in a cross-national context in the Middle East: the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan. A conceptual framework was developed by extending the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) further. It was tested among individuals aged 18-29 years using multistage cluster sampling. A total sample of around 900 usable responses from both countries were included in the analysis. The factors national IT development, enjoyment, perceived relative advantage, price value and effort expectancy were found to be significant in the model among Arab women in the UAE and Jordan. The study has theoretical, social and policy relating contributions. The study shows how an extended UTAUT2 fits among both genders in a crossnational context. The study is helpful for policymakers who intend to reduce the gender gap in smartphone adoption and use. The advancement of national IT development and the presence of effective policies focusing on women were found important in both countries.

“…Some of the data mining techniques deployed includes clustering, text mining, association rule mining, classification and so forth. The mode of delivery of education has transcended from the traditional classroom-based method to various web-based teaching platforms and adaptive e-learning systems [19] due to the availability of modern learning technologies [20][21][22], and this therefore enables diverse education related data to be generated, logged, processed and studied for a better understanding of the learning process and learners [23], and educational technology integration practices [24].…”

The ability to predict failure is an advantageous educational tool that can be effectively used to counsel student, and this may also be used as a tool for developing, and channelling adequate academic interventions toward preventing failure and dropout tendencies. Students are generally admitted based on their evaluated academic potentials as measured using their admission criteria scores. This study seeks to identify the relationship, if any, between the admission criteria scores and the graduation grades, and to examine the influence of ethnicity using the geopolitical zone of origin of the student on the predictive accuracy of the models developed using a Nigerian University as a case study. Data mining analyses were carried out using four classifiers on the Orange Software, and the results were verified with multiple regression analysis. The maximum classification accuracy observed is 53.2% which indicates that the pre-admission scores alone are insufficient for predicting the graduation result of students but it may serve as a useful guide. By applying over-sampling technique, the accuracy increased to 79.8%. The results establish that the ethnic background of the student is statistically insignificant in predicting their graduation results. Hence, the use of ethnicity in admission processes is therefore not ideal.
