The study aimed to identify the current status of applying e-learning quality standards at the Arab American University from the point of view of faculty members, and to what extent average means differ according to the different demographic variables. To achieve this, the descriptive analytical method was used, and (211) members were randomly selected, who represented (45.4%) of the study population (465) faculty members working at the Arab American university. A questionnaire consisting of (39) items covering (3) dimensions (the lecturer’s role in using e-learning system, the quality of e-learning system, the role of the university administration in the quality of e-learning system) was used after testing its validity and reliability. After the descriptive statistical analysis, the results showed that the average means of the study sample towards the current status of applying the quality standards of e-learning at the university received a high degree. There were also statistically significant differences in the gender variable in favor of females; in qualification in favor of PhD holders; and in experience in favor of (more than 10 years). The study concluded with a number of recommendations, including developing and innovating new methods of evaluation suitable for the e-learning system, providing all kinds of support to faculty members, and relieving the psychological stress faced during the e-learning process.

The study aimed to identify the reality of applying indicators of academic staff’s quality in Libyan universities. Furthermore, the study attempted to know the obstacles that prevent the application of it. Moreover, the study aimed to explore whether there is a difference in estimating the degree of importance of these obstacles according to: academic degree, academic qualification, and experience years. A descriptive and analytical research design was adopted. To answer the study questions, a questionnaire was developed and its validity and reliability were assured. The study sample (N=50) was drawn from academic staff at Tripoli University, Faculty of Arts. Results related to the first dimension showed that all indicators of this dimension were weak), which indicates a low availability of indicators to achieve the quality of the faculty academic members. With regard to the second dimension, the results showed that all indicators of this dimension were high, which indicates however, the level of availability of obstacles to the application of quality indicators for faculty members was high. The findings also indicated that there was no significant difference in estimating the degree of importance of obstacles to the application of quality indicators of faculty academic members according to: academic degree, academic qualification, and years of experience.

We examine the computer-based exams system at Arab American University-Palestine in terms of teacher and student attitudes as well as the quality of the test items. A three-pronged approach to data collection was used. First, we elicited answers to questionnaires from 704 faculty and student respondents. Second, we conducted eight individual interviews with students and instructors, as well as three focus groups—each comprising 8–10 students—from different majors in the university. Third, we had access to the records of the registrar on the grades of students in different years prior to and after introducing the system. We utilized descriptive statistics to examine the quantitative data and qualitative methods to analyze the interviews. The results suggested that the attitudes of instructors and students, as well as the quality of the exams were not adequately considered by AAUP when it introduced the computer-based exams system. We found significant differences between grades prior to and after adopting the system; yet the changes are not necessarily positive, at least from an academic point of view.

Purpose Generally, the user requires customized information reflecting his/her current needs and interests that are stored in his/her profile. There are many sources which may provide beneficial information to enrich the user’s interests such as his/her social network for recommendation purposes. The proposed approach rests basically on predicting the reliability of the users’ profiles which may contain conflictual interests. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This approach handles conflicts by detecting the reliability of neighbors’ profiles of a user. The authors consider that these profiles are dependent on one another as they may contain interests that are enriched from non-reliable profiles. The dependency relationship is determined between profiles, each of which contains interests that are structured based on k-means algorithm. This structure takes into consideration not only the evolutionary aspect of interests but also their semantic relationships. Findings The proposed approach was validated in a social-learning context as evaluations were conducted on learners who are members of Moodle e-learning system and Delicious social network. The quality of the created interest structure is assessed. Then, the result of the profile reliability is evaluated. The obtained results are satisfactory. These results could promote recommendation systems as the selection of interests that are considered of enrichment depends on the reliability of the profiles where they are stored. Research limitations/implications Some specific limitations are recorded. As the quality of the created interest structure would evolve in order to improve the profile reliability result. In addition, as Delicious is used as a main data source for the learner’s interest enrichment, it was necessary to obtain interests from other sources, such as e-recruitement systems. Originality/value This research is among the pioneer papers to combine the semantic as well as the hierarchical structure of interests and conflict resolution based on a profile reliability approach.

This study was based mainly on documents and analytic description to collect information about the importance and ways of evaluating teachers with reference to some of the international experiences on teaching performance development. This study concluded that the absence of an experienced entity that would develop the teaching performance of faculty members is one of the main reasons for the weak teaching performance at Sebha University. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that there should be a planned system based on measured standards and criteria for evaluating staff members to improve the quality of teaching in the higher education domain.
