Using a Mobile-Based Learning Management System (M-LMS) for Developing English Technical Report Writing Skills of Computers and Artificial Intelligence Students

Utilizing a Mobile Learning Management System (M-LMS) in the field of Foreign Language Education and job-oriented class practices is a revolutionary development. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using M-LMS (Canvas) on developing technical report writing skills of freshmen students at Hurghada Faculty of Computers and Artificial Intelligence. Using the one-group quasi-experimental design, a group of (35) students was selected to study a technical report writing module based on Canvas application. The study utilized a questionnaire for technical report writing skills, a test, a rubric, a reflection journal, and a module based on M-LMS. Results of the pre-post testing showed that there were significant mean differences between the scores of the participants' in the sections of layout and content, technical content writing, and the overall score of the test. The reflection Journal qualitatively showed that the participants were satisfied with the module of the study as it helped them to communicate, interact, upload, download, write, edit, and receive feedback functionalities. The study recommended using M-LMS in the field of informatics and other career-oriented English courses. It also recommended integrating M-LMSs as hybrid or online platforms due to their effective features.
