To cope with the increasing trend of learning demand and limited resources, most universities are taking advantage of Web-based technology for their distance education or e-learning (Montelpare & Williams, 2000). One of the reasons is due to the significant price drop of personal computers in recent decades; the Internet and multimedia have penetrated into most households. Moreover, most students prefer to learn from an interactive environment through a self-paced style. Under the Web-based learning model, students can learn anytime, anywhere because they are not required to go to school on schedule (Appelt, 1997). Meanwhile, universities also enjoy the economic benefit due to the large student base that can share the development cost of course materials and other operational expenses. Gradually, more and more universities follow this similar way to provide online education.

In the construction of learning objects, as digital instructional material that is delivered to students, the level of learning to which they are directed must be considered first of all, according to the Bloom taxonomy or any other that is used, applicable to the e-learning, taking advantage of the digital resources that are currently available, multimedia for creation, digital repositories for storage and internet for access. Learning objects are built with pedagogical and technological elements that follow a process in themselves, subject to an educational model, instructional design, curriculum design and learning objectives as precedents, with stages very similar to those of design, construction and operation of an information system. Given their nature of digital entities, learning capsules that contain information and knowledge, the Data Quality Model of the ISO / IEC 25012: 2008 standard is also applicable, which guarantees the quality of the content and their access and availability. The creation of learning objects must also obey an educational strategy and be considered holistically in the e-learning system, that is, use a systemic approach throughout the teaching-learning process, including learning objects, considering harmonization , performance and quality in all its stages.

Abstract Background: In High-income countries, many academic institutions are using e-learning during COVID 19 Pandemic. However, in limited resource countries, like Sudan, shifting towards E-learning require many adjustments to be made in order to make sure the e-learning is held in a proper manner, as best as possible. This study was undertaken to assess medical students’ perception towards implementing E-learning during COVID 19 Pandemic and to highlight difficulties of E-learning implementation in a limited-resource setting. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between 10 to 25 May 2020 among the undergraduate medical students at the Faculty of medicine, University of Gezira, Sudan. A predesigned online-based questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The total numbers of 358 medical undergraduate students responded to the survey and completely fill the electronic questionnaire. The majority (87.7%) of student agreed that, the closure of university is an essential decision to control spread of the COVID-19 infection. Approximately two-third (64%) of student perceived that E-learning is the best solution during COVID 19 lockdown. Level of student in the university and residence has strong relation to students’ opinion regards start the online education. Internet bandwidth and connectivity limitation, Unfamiliarity with E-learning system, Technical support limitation and time flexibility in case of technical problems during online exams and Lack of face-to-face interaction were the factors considered by medical students to be against the E-learning implementation.Conclusion: Majority of medical students had a positive perception towards E-learning. However, there are many challenges considered as inhibitory factor for utilizing electronic technologies for medical education. We recommend that challenges of E-learning in our setting should be systematically evaluated and that effective strategies should be developed to overcome their inhibitory effects.

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the relevance of the transition to remote forms of training has increased not only for part-time students, but also for full-time ones. Online learning, based on the use of various electronic educational platforms, differs significantly from the traditional system and completely changes the entire educational process, including the forms of knowledge acquisition, control and assessment. ELearning has many advantages, but it can only be considered as an addition to traditional forms of training. However, under the conditions of the pandemic, remote learning for a certain period of time became the only form of communication between students and teachers and showed alongside with its advantages its shortcomings as well. It turned out that higher education is not only technically, but also organizationally unprepared for the transition to online education. This work examines the main aspects of the remote learning system as a necessary and effective technology in the current conditions. At the same time, our task is to analyze the negative assessments that students give to the current state of remote education.

One of the most impressive uses of information and communication technology is the advent of e-learning. The current E-learning system mainly plays a role of learning assistance such as providing learning content or learning information, and sometime it provides channels or platform in the learning environment for discussion and interaction. In recent years E-learning has changed sophisticatedly in teaching method in higher education of Asian countries. The success of E-learning depends on the some circumstance like learning effectiveness, cost effectiveness, institutional commitment, access, faculty satisfaction, and student's satisfaction. Accessing has become more widely permitted through the open courseware. Open Courseware is one of the effective new types of E-learning system raised in recent years. This paper discusses the importance of e-learning system in higher education, and universal access to knowledge and information in the network and digital environment through Open Courseware. Some of the major initiatives and the targets segments covered by the online education have also been studied in this article.

PurposeAlthough various educational technology interventions have been introduced to support parents of preterm infants, the interventions tend to focus on mothers over fathers. This study aims to advance understanding of the concerns and needs of fathers and seek opportunities of information technology to support them.Design and SampleA convenience sampling method recruited 18 parents (i.e., ten mothers and eight fathers of preterm infants) for interviews. The interview transcripts were analyzed by the inductive content analysis method.Main Outcome VariableThe analysis identified two main themes (i.e., customized education, learning styles and tools preferred by fathers) and five subthemes (i.e., infant care, self-care, self-regulated online learning, adaptive user interfaces of online education modules, and hands-on learning with multimedia).ResultsThe interviewed parents emphasized the importance of education customized for the fathers of preterm infants, and argued that an e-learning system has the potential to fulfill the fathers' educational needs.

AbstractE-learning was mandated for all the higher education institutions (HEI) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to encounter the pandemic and practice social distancing in year 2020. This led education institutions to shift from face-to-face traditional classroom settings to online education channels for delivering education to their students despite being less familiar with the real-time remote learning. The current study attempts to measure the success of e-learning systems adopted by the HEIs in UAE. An e-learning system success measuring the framework based on DeLone and McLean (J Manage Inf Syst 19(4):9–30, 2003) was developed including the measures of quality, system use, perceptual benefits and future outcomes from students’ perspective. A survey was conducted from more than 1200 students studying at different higher education institutions of the UAE region. The findings have implications for educators and policy-makers recommending the success factors of e-learning delivery channels in this region.
