The study aimed to identify the degree of benefit and difficulty in using e-learning system (Moodle) in university learning Under the pandemic of Covid 19 among PES at West Bank universities- Palestine, in addition to determining the differences according to variables of gender, study level & university. The researchers used descriptive& analytic approach. The study was conducted on a random sample of (103) studentsWhich represents a percentage of (17.13) from PTUK &An-Najah National University. In order to collect data, the researchers prepared two scales are They are (degree of benefit, degree of difficulty) from students' use of the educational Moodle system. The results of the study revealed the following: - The degree of benefit from using e-learning system (Moodle) in university learningUnder the pandemic of Covid 19 among study sample were low. - The degree of difficulty from using e-learning system (Moodle) in university learningUnder the pandemic of Covid 19 among study sample were middle. - There weren't statistically significant differences in benefit & difficulty from using e-learning system (Moodle) in university learning Under the pandemic of Covid 19 among study sample according to variables of gender, study level & university.The researchers recommend the need toHold training courses on the use of the various e-learning systems in Palestinian universities for students and academic staff.

The University

Universiti Putra Malaysia’s (UPM) vision is to become a university with international repute. The Strategic Plan Document 2001- 2010 includes a goal for the university to be fully wired through ICT in enhancing research, extension work, professional service, strengthening teaching and learning environment and enhancing the culture of ICT in supporting teaching and learning. Two strategies were drawn; namely (i) implement the use of one learning management system (LMS) and (ii) enhance competency of academic staff in using the LMS. It has been a practice that each faculty decides on a platform for implementing e-Learning. However, the use of various LMSs had created difficulties in the sharing of integrated database, continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of the e-Learning system, and depository of e-Learning resources in the UPM’s knowledge repository. This paper reports on UPM’s experience in adapting the use of LMS from the early 1990s until today.

This chapter makes a case for the importance of preparing e-teachers by requiring them to have an experience as an e-learner. The chapter begins with a review of the challenges and criticisms of e-learning. Some of the literature indicates that e-learners have been dissatisfied with their learning experiences. Some academics have concerns about the rigour of courses offered through e-learning. The literature of academic development and e-learning is used to link theory with practice. The chapter provides examples of best practice in the preparation of academic staff for e-teaching. Two case studies of lived examples of e-teaching preparation are provided from a North American perspective. Future research directions are outlined, with research questions to be explored regarding the link between the preparation of eteachers through e-learning and the quality of the e-learning experience for students.

PurposeThe paper aims to explore staff practices in using e‐learning to embed sustainability literacy, highlight best practice and determine areas for improvement.Design/methodology/approachA framework of four areas for developing student sustainability literacy (SSL) was proposed as a basis for analysing practice. A literature review then explored the extent to which e‐learning is used to support embedding SSL in the curriculum, and the types of e‐learning currently in use for this.FindingsE‐learning tools were most frequently used to provide flexible access to information, followed by support for communication and collaboration, and were less frequently used for the development of specific skills, personal identity and confidence.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample of case studies provided only limited evidence. A survey of practitioners could be undertaken to explore and validate the issues raised by the literature review.Practical implicationsThe review highlighted scope for a pedagogical shift away from using e‐learning for information delivery and practical communication, and towards supporting rich, student‐centred forms of learning in both blended and distance learning modes.Social implicationsThis shift would create more powerful learning experiences for students, more effectively develop students' personal identities and skills, and yield graduates who are more confident in their ability to create more sustainable futures.Originality/valueThis paper will be of value to academic staff and educational developers looking to develop practice in embedding SSL in teaching and learning, and to harness the potential of e‐learning.

Development countries uses E-Learning as a form of education to cooperate with the challenges of globalization, the birth of the internet and so on. Moodle is a Learning Management System (LMS) which is a free open source platform designed to assist educators in creating online courses with opportunities for dynamic interaction. In this paper the meaning of Moodle was carried out, then the web form (Google Form) is created as a Database to store the answers, gathering feedback and as statistical software to provide analytics of the effect of using Moodle by the lecturer’s opinion or perspective in College of Engineering, University of Duhok (UoD), Kurdistan Region of Iraq; their questioners are completed on the internet. The study results point out that 72.55% of lecturers were interested in services provided by Moodle@uod, mostly utilized as a depot for getting the course’s materials but the interactive learning tools are not effectively invested. Where 29.73% used the application in making quizzes; 32.43% for communicating with their students this is because of the instability of internet services. For that, the authors suggest satisfying academic staff desires in taking training courses to be more familiar with using Moodle Platform.

Education Initiative

To spearhead the Distance Education (DE) initiative at AU, the DE and ICT units under the instigation of the Deputy Vice Chancellor held a Distance Education and E-learning Symposium from the 30th to the 31st of January 2014. The symposium was meant to bring momentum to the distance education initiative and ensure that we are all geared and ready for online distance education. The research designs used were Ex post Facto and correlational research designs.  Data was analysed using qualitative technique such as coding and quantitative technique, including descriptive and inferential statistics.  The major draw backs to the momentum to distance education initiative included; technical problems in accessing the virtual classroom, lack of theoretical and pedagogical knowledge of teaching and learning to effectively engage with students in on line learning.  From the inferential statistics, the most important factor that can lead to adoption of technology is to change the views of academic staff about the relevance and importance of distance education and e-learning.
