Abstract: Mobile technology has influenced almost every aspect of our modern lives. The enhancement of learning in Saudi Arabia, as well as significant development in education overall, may be possible through mobile learning. However, the successful implementation of mobile learning in tertiary education profoundly relies on the acceptance of mobile learning from both students and instructors. Most mobile learning acceptance studies target higher education students. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the factors that affect university instructors’ intentions to use mobile learning at Hail University. Eighty instructors completed the online survey, and the results indicated that performance experience, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions altogether predicted the instructors’ use of mobile learning, as 67% of the variation was found to be affected by these variables in the multiple regression analysis outcome. The results also suggested that effort expectancy is the best predictor of instructors’ behavioural intentions to use mobile learning.
