| description | <p dir="ltr">Mobile learning (mLearning) research and practice is a growing trend in the Gulf region. In recent years, a number of major initiatives have been undertaken at the state level and by numerous higher education institutions. For instance, both the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have seen the launch of iPad distribution and integration programs at the post-‐secondary level (Barth et al., 2013; Gitsaki et al., 2013; Stein & Alsaleh, 2013). In Qatar, a partnership between Qatar Foundation, Qatar University, Qatar Petroleum and other petrochemical companies has given rise to a comprehensive project to develop mobile workplace English training applications (Ally et al., 2012). Research at College of the North Atlantic -‐ Qatar (Power, 2012a, 2012b) has explored student responses to the use of mobile reusable learning objects (RLOs) accessed by scanning Quick Response (QR) Codes with mobile devices. However, Gulf-‐based researchers, instructional designers, and front-‐line educators who want to capitalize on the affordances of mLearning need more than just assurances that mLearning strategies will be supported by state and institutional policies, technical infrastructure, or receptive learners. They need assurances that their instructional designs will be effective, and they need practical guidance on what elements to include in mLearning design.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: Gulf Perspectives<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.18538/lthe.v10.n2.137" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.18538/lthe.v10.n2.137</a></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">Disclaimer: The University of Doha for Science and Technology replaced the now-former College of the North Atlantic-Qatar after an Amiri decision in 2022.
