The Dominance of E-Learning Methods over Studies: Problems and Solutions

Abstract

This paper sheds light on e-learning, whose importance has swiftly grown over the past year by learners after the closure of schools and universities in more than 100 countries worldwide due to the rampant Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the problems and solutions that must be followed to facilitate the educational process. This study is mainly quantitative. It will use quantitative research methods to collect data by distributing questions to the research community consisting of 10 teachers and 30 undergraduate students in the medical, technical faculty at Al-Kitab University. The data were analyzed by content analysis technique and divided into themes, sub-themes, and codes. The paper found that both students and teachers used technology to ensure the continuity of the educational process. In addition, both teachers and learners have different positive and negative opinions about the distance education platforms and the conditions facing them from the weakness of the Internet and the liability of electronic skills for both parties. Ideas were put forward on developing equipment and methods used for distance education activities using artificial intelligence to simulate the natural educational environment. This study recommends educational institutions restructure the curriculum and make it compatible with the electronic environment, just like the real academic environment.
