“…The participants also indicated that they would use social media to improve their research skills and to build relationships with their supervisors thus further improving their academic performance while facilitating academic activities and cooperating with other researchers. As a result of these findings, hypotheses H3b, H3c, H4a, H4b and H5 are confirmed, which agrees with the results of several past studies (Ainin et al, 2015;Alrahmi et al, 2015a;Al-rahmi et al, 2014;Alloway and Alloway, 2012;Al-rahmi et al, 2015b;Al-rahmi et al, 2015c) but contradicts the findings of past studies that suggested that the frequent use of social media harms academic performance (Kirschner et al, 2010).…”

The proposed system framework consists two main databases: Lexicon dictionary and Summarized previous cases, by depending on Senti-ment analysis and N-Gram algorithms to match the terms and documents. In the first branch, the judge opens the cyber case and therefore the system will highlight the technical terms automatically. Furthermore, the technical terms matched with Lexicon dictionary will be high-lighted. After that, the judge opens the highlighted terms (as links), and description page will be appeared. The description page contains details about the technical terms (definitions, explanations, examples, etc). On the other side, the second branch aims to retrieve the related legal cases (from the database) judged by courts in UK and KSA. The related cases are the most closed cases to the current legal case by inserting keywords based on the current case. The judge benefits from these cases through the judgment issued to give the fair judgment. N-gram algorithm is used to find the related cases because it has smart approach to expect the most closed document and texts. The system provides the judge with laws used in issuing the judgment in KSA and UK courts.

Abstract: This research aims to explore the factors of teaching and learning measurement through using social media, incorporating the literature of social media adoption on resource sharing, collaborating and communicating for educational purpose. The current research explore factors that perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), attitude toward use social media use have certain influence on adoption of resource sharing, collaboration and communication for educational use. Therefore, resource sharing, collaboration and communication influence educational use, while educational use influences PU, PEU, SMU and attitude toward the use (AT) of SMU for teaching and learning. Both the processes of collecting and analyzing the data followed the quantitative method. The main tool of data collection was a questionnaire that has been distributed among 236 students using stratified random sampling technique. The view of the students and their implication of social media use for teaching and learning were solicited through the questionnaire. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used as the main tool in the process of data examination. The results of this research were related to two main constructs: teaching and learning as well as educational use.According to the results, it appears that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and social media are considered powerful determinants of the former while resource sharing, collaboration and communication were significant indicators of the latter. Educational use, PU, PEU, AT succeeded in explaining 74.9% of SMU for teaching and learning.
