Abstract

Computer and mobile applications (apps) were more beneficial for education and applied skills services during COVID-19. There are questions about both theoretical comprehension and actual application regarding how successfully these apps may be used, particularly in languages like Arabic. In order to understand faculty members' opinions on utilizing Microsoft Teams in the departments of basic education, business studies, technological studies, and administrative services, this study uses the Arabic System Usability Scale (A-SUS) survey in Kuwait. According to the A-SUS data, the business and technological faculties are relatively more useful. A master's degree is more common among academics who are between the ages of 30 and 39 in particular. To investigate the present theoretical complaint of the factoring structure of SUS, the data is further compressed into two composite components, usability and learnability. The data theory of SUS in general and A-SUS in particular is supported by these findings, which is important from the faculty's point of view because it considers A-SUS a crucial part of learning management software.
