Abstract Nowadays, e-learning systems play an important role in our life; they help instructors in the process of teaching and help the students and learners to access knowledge. e-learning is the concept that refers to the use of computerized and smart tools and designed systems in the learning process. Also, the interest in e-learning has started to increase dramatically, and researchers everywhere have become more interested in how to develop e-learning in all aspects. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present a model that includes the most important necessary variables required to provide and implement e-learning systems according to international standards for the students of Palestinian universities. This study undertook an in-depth review of literature concerning the success of e-learning implementation and focusing on the aspects of technology, infrastructure, scientific materials and services provided. The proposed model in this study will be the first building block that universities can focus on in designing, building and developing their own e-learning system and will be a cornerstone and the basis in the development of e-learning in Palestine over time.

And Performance

E-learning is used by higher education institutions and corporate training institutes as a means of solving performance problems, and the accessibility to educational technology which considered as vital for acquisition and dissemination of knowledge to students, as well as interaction between instructors and students. To determine technological solutions for those institutions, an analysis to the literature, and related theories have been conducted depending on the context impact to e-learning system, as well as the interrelationship between e-learning system components and its impact on learner performance. The main findings show that e-learning system is composed of four components, mainly; the instructor, learner, course, and information and communication technologies (ICT), in addition to the context determinants of e-learning system success. The current study, proposed a model for e-learning success, which incorporates eight factors, mainly; e-learning context that include individual, institutional, and environmental determinants to e-learning success. In addition to e-learning components which include instructor, learner, course, and ICT. As well as the learner performance, that aims to measure e-learning success. The proposed model was designed to integrate prior research in the area of e-learning, where it adds set of determinants to e-learning systems success, and find out the best fit of e-learning system components. Moreover, educational institutions can use this proposed model.

The Relationship

The E-learning systems are important for the universities due to the gained benefits from these systems. By using the E-learning system, the learning expenses can be reduced, the learning management would be improved, and the learning quality could be enhanced. Like any technology system, the students' motivation and positive attitude are success keys of the E-learning adoption by the universities. There are many difficulties faced by the students in using the E-learning system such as the technical difficulties, services difficulties, awareness, interactivity, and security concerns. This study aims to study the effects of the E-learning difficulties on the attitudes of using the E-learning systems through the path of students' motivation. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is adopted to construct the conceptual model in this study. This study considered the E-learning difficulties as independent factor, the mediating factor is the motivation of using the E-learning systems, and the dependent factor is the attitudes toward the using of the E-learning systems. Based on the constructed model, three research hypotheses are developed to test the relationship between the E-learning difficulties and motivation, between motivation and attitudes, and between difficulties and attitudes through the motivation. The quantitative data method using questionnaire is used to collect the study data. The data collected from 154 students from Ajloun University as a case study of Jordanian universities. The case study is selected due the experience of the students in using E-learning system called BigBlueButton. The questionnaire data were analyzed using AMOS tool in order to discover the direct and indirect paths between the study variables. The significant results show that there moderator effects of the students motivation on the relationship between the E-learning difficulties and the attitudes toward the using of these systems. The P-values is significant at p < 0.05 on the relationship between the study variables. Another important result is that the difficulties of E-learning such as technical, services, and interactivity should be avoided to improve the motivation level of using the E-learning systems. Also, the low motivation level lead to decrease the attitudes level toward the using of E-learning systems. The contribution of this study represented by fill the research gap of the motivation path on the relationship between the E-learning difficulties and attitudes. This study gives the university important details about the features of success implementations of E-learning systems.

The growing use of e-learning systems has been documented by numerous studies (Levy, 2005). Yet in spite of this enormous growth, little attention has been given to the issue of security of e learning systems both in research and in practice. Security of e-learning systems has a unique challenge as these systems are accessed and managed via the Internet by thousands of users over hundreds of networks. However, the Internet can pose security threats such as unauthorized access, hacking/cracking, obtaining sensitive information, and altering data and configuration, as well as enabling academic misconduct incidents (Freeh, 2000; Ramim, 2005; Sridhar & Bhasker, 2003). At the same time, cyber attacks have proliferated significantly in recent years. As a result, proper IT policies and procedures, in particular ones related to security of information systems, have become critical for organizations. This case study was written from the IS consultant’s point of view and addresses the issues related to insider cyber attacks combined with novice IT management knowledge in a small university. After a year of substantial growth to its online learning program, the university in this case study experienced a devastating event that halted all academic activities enabled by the institution’s e-learning system. This case reveals that internal cyber attack as well as lack of proper IT policies and procedures all resulted in multiple instances of damage to the e-learning system. The case provides detailed documentation on the security audit performed as well as stimulation for class discussions on actions to be taken as a result of the insider’s cyber attack. Additionally, this case study attempts to provide a starting point on discussions in the area of security related to e-learning systems. It is hoped that this case study will stimulate discussions among practitioners and researchers related to e-learning systems security, and that it will help prevent such incidents from occurring at other academic institutions.

Nowadays, E-learning system has been widely applied to practical teaching. It was favored by people for its characterized course arrangement and flexible learning schedule. However, the system does have some problems in the process of application such as the functions of single software are not diversified enough to satisfy the requirements in teaching completely. In order to cater more applications in the teaching process, it is necessary to integrate functions from different systems. But the difference in developing techniques and the inflexibility in design makes it difficult to implement. The major reason of these problems is the lack of fine software architecture. In this article, we build domain model and component model of E-learning system and components integration method on the basis of WebService. And we proposed an abstract framework of E-learning which could express the semantic relationship among components and realize high level reusable on the basis of informationized teaching mode. On this foundation, we form an E-learning oriented layering software architecture contain component library layer, application framework layer and application layer. Moreover, the system contains layer division multiplexing and was not built upon developing language and tools. Under the help of the software architecture, we could build characterized E-learning system flexibly like building blocks through framework selection, component assembling and replacement. In addition, we exemplify how to build concrete E-learning system on the basis of this software architecture.
