Introduction
• The COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges
to education; thus, joining this Webinar will allow the
participants to learn more about how universities have
transitioned from in-person to virtual instruction and how
they have managed this period of adaption, challenges, and
opportunities.
• As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has spread across
the globe, nearly every country had to react. So, today, the
world finds 99% of all formally enrolled students in post-
secondary education affected. These students are serving
as part of a global experiment, with a wide variety of
modalities being tried for the continued provision of their
post-secondary education.

WHAT IS E-LEARNING?
• A e-learning system based on formalized
teaching but with the help of electronic resources
is known as E-learning while teaching can be
based I or out of the classrooms, the use of
computers and the internet forms the major
components of E- learning can also be termed as
a network enabled transfer of skill and
knowledge , and the delivery of education is
made to a large number of recipients at the same
or different times.

• This Webinar will look at main equity implications, such as
the digital divide exposing socioeconomic inequity of
distance learning.
• Recognizing these equity challenges as early as possible
should allow higher education institutions and
governments to fashion interventions that mitigate the
impacts and devise interventions that improve students’
persistence and retention. This is a task for governments,
higher education institutions, development partners, and
individuals alike.
• While tertiary education institutions are first responders
when it comes to at-risk students, governments need to
support and complement their efforts through equity-
oriented policies, frameworks, and targeted funding.

The Impact of Using E-Learning
• COVID-19 Pandemic motivates educators to make use of
new technologies to enhance teaching, learning, and
overall education performance. Moreover, COVID-19
pandemic has presented a need for greater integration of
technology as a platform and environment to educate
students. This has been met with great challenges in terms
of best practices and empirical research to guide
instructors.
• The distance learning tools implemented in response to the
education crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have
revealed the potential of new technologies, especially
those using e-Learning and Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education.

• However, by exacerbating existing inequalities, this crisis has also
strengthened our conviction that further work is needed to ensure
that these technologies are truly inclusive. In other words, they
must be accessible to all and adapted to the specific needs of each
learner.
• This issue is central to the spirit of the use of ICT during this difficult
challenge due to the Coronavirus Pandemic Crisis.
• This part of the presentation will focus on the role of educational
technology and e-Learning during the Coronavirus in ensuring
educational continuity and quality learning in Jordanian higher
education institutions. Also, it aims to address this void by
convening an international interdisciplinary group of practitioners
and researchers to identify effective pedagogical strategies for
technology use in higher education institutions.

• E-Learning is a timely topic and the international
perspective is useful, specifically in the light of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
• E-Learning has become the mandatory
component of all educational institutions like
schools, colleges, and universities in and around
the world due to the pandemic crisis of COVID-
19. This deadly situation has flipped out the
offline teaching process. E-Learning provides an
effective teaching method that brings out the
best in learners.

• The main core of education is to learn; learning is a process of
acquiring knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being
taught. Any freak accident that happens in the world will always
leave its impact on education. And so the pandemic of COVID 19
has its footprints on education. The outbreak of this dangerous
virus across the globe has forced educational institutions to shut
down to control the spread of this virus.
• This happening made the teaching professionals think of alternative
methods of teaching during this lockdown. And thus it paves the
way towards web-based learning or e-Learning or online learning.
• In today's scenario learning has stepped into the digital world. In
which teaching professionals and students are virtually connected.
E-Learning is quite simple to understand and implement.

• The use of a desktop, laptop, or smartphones and the internet
forms a major component of this learning methodology. E-Learning
provides rapid growth and proved to be the best in all sectors,
especially in education during this lockdown.
• In short, in response to the emerging and ever solution to the
COVID-19 outbreak, most of the higher education system is
operating through e-Learning. Meanwhile, to tackle the COVID-19
pandemic, almost all the world, and including the Jordanian
Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education and
Scientific Research, have issued the ordered to close the public and
private schools and higher education institutions closure as an
emergency measure to stop spreading the infection.
• Hence, due to the COVID-19 outbreak universities closed and
lockdown, most instructors and students in Jordan are enforced to
move to online education.

 The faculty members of most Jordanian universities -if not all- have
begun to get online training on how to use e-Learning and distance
learning tools to deliver online teaching to their students. At the
same time, faculty and staff members are learning how to use
online learning platforms.
 Previous, they are using only the delivery through face-to-face
teaching. However, the shift to online mode has raised many
queries on the quality of education.
 Furthermore, the quality of education and excellent infrastructures
such as computers and IT modern equipment reception are now in
massive demand and universities are changing their teaching
models with the use of intellectual capital.

Statistics about E-Learning
• At the beginning of June 2020, the Jordanian Ministry of Higher
Education issued a report, which concluded that the number of
courses that have been computerized in the public universities since
the beginning of the pandemic amounted to 20,258 courses. These
courses accounted for 82.21 percent of the courses offered in the
second academic semester's schedule of 2019/2020 in the public
universities of Jordan, while the ratio of computerized courses to
the courses presented in private universities for the same semester
accounted for 93.94 percent.
• This recently released report also showed that the number of those
who logged in the electronic applications and platforms of the
public universities was 326,643 students, accounting for 77.07
percent of the total registered students, while 133,749 students
logged in the electronic educational platforms of the private
universities, accounting for 88.81 percent of the total students in
these universities.

• The report showed that these percentages
continued to rise, reaching until the sixth week of
utilizing e-Learning, in terms of computerized
courses, to 94.5 percent in public universities and
98.28 percent in private universities, an increase
of 12.29 percent for public universities and 4.34
percent for private universities.
• According to this report, the number of students
benefiting from computerized courses is 417,373
students in the public universities and 168,294
students in the private universities, an increase of
90,730 students, and the percentage of
beneficiary students during the sixth week
reached 86.49 percent in the public universities,
and 85.52 percent in the private universities.

• The report also showed that the university theses discussed in
Jordanian universities through visual telecommunication methods
for the end of last April amounted to 286, including 207 Master
theses and 79 Doctorate dissertation. The report stressed that the
e-Learning experience in Jordanian universities was evaluated
through the Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education.
• The report also showed that the level of student satisfaction with
the effectiveness of e-Learning was 54.4 percent according to the
study conducted by the Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education,
which was designed within four topics, namely the methods and
technologies with a satisfaction rate of 55.93 percent, the electronic
content with a satisfaction rate of 52.56 percent, the effectiveness
of teaching with a satisfaction rate of 56.83 percent, and
assessment with a satisfaction rate of 50.63 percent.
• The report showed that the rate of satisfaction with the
effectiveness of e-teaching for Master students reached 70.54
percent, and 53.06 percent for undergraduate program students,
while it reached 58.14 percent for intermediate diploma students.

• The report emphasized that the results of the study conducted by
the Ministry did not show a statistically significant difference in the
degree of satisfaction with the effectiveness of e-Learning among
students living in rural areas compared to those living in urban
areas, the rate of satisfaction reached 54.72 percent among
students in villages and 54.37 percent among students in cities. The
report stated that the highest satisfaction rate was recorded for
students of humanities at about 60.00 percent, followed by
information technology students at 54.60 percent.
• The report indicated that, according to the survey, the percentage
of students who use the educational platforms provided by their
universities, reached 83 percent, and 92 percent for instructors .
The report showed that 65 percent of students reported that the
universities provided instructional information to them on how to
use these platforms, while 51 percent of them reported that the
universities provided the technical assistance when needed.

• The report also indicated that the survey results showed that 73
percent of the students use their smartphones to access the
educational platforms for learning purposes and 78 percent of
university instructors use laptops, while 87 percent of the students
expressed their desire to implement the Pass/Fail mechanism for
the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020.
• It is worth noting here that the e-Learning plan, adopted by the
Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education since the start of the crisis,
included a training course for administrators of e-Learning centers
in the Jordanian public and private universities, to provide them
with the skills needed to design the teaching process and develop
electronic content for the academic courses. The report indicated
that a guide has been developed to clarify the designing sequence
of the educational content online in cooperation with the Edraak
Foundation for Education and Community Development, one of the
initiatives of the Queen Rania Foundation.

• As for the distance assessment mechanism, the report
showed that the Information Technology and Electronic
Transformation Directorate in the Jordanian Ministry of
Higher Education, held three training workshops to explain
the principles and mechanism of distance assessment, how
they are aligned with the objectives of e-Learning, and the
best methods used for student participation in e-Learning.
The workshops were held in cooperation with Johns
Hopkins University and Georgetown University of the
United States of America with the participation of
specialists in the field of building electronic courses, and
several faculty members in the Jordanian public and private
universities.
• The report indicated that during the Coronavirus crisis, the
Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education of Jordan
announced an exceptional research course for 56 research
projects, and identified 1790 free sites that provide
Internet services that students of the Jordanian public and
private universities can use to take final exams.

Conclusions
• E-Learning seems to be the forthcoming trend; it has been extending
widespread. The online method of learning is best suited for everyone.
Depending on their availability and comfort, many people choose to learn
at a convenient time. This enables the learner to access updated content
whenever they want it. Due to the wide set of benefits, it gives to students.
In conclusion, e-Learning has become quite popular among students across
the world particularly, during the lockdown period due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
• E-Learning is not the result of the current situation crisis due to the
outbreak of Coronavirus in most countries around the world. Its
transformation into a pandemic prevented the continuation of the
educational process in its traditional face-to-face form in all educational
institutions at all levels. Consequently, many university education
institutions adopted the e-Learning system, whether completely or
partially, to raise the efficiency and effectiveness of the educational
process and advance it towards achieving its goals during COVID-19
pandemic crisis.

• The crisis that encountered the educational sector - due
to the outbreak of the Coronavirus – has certainly
pushed e-Learning towards the forefront, so it became
an irreplaceable option (except in the absence of
infrastructure).
• Instructors will face great challenges to cope with this
sudden shift. However, they can overcome many
obstacles and constraints through appropriate planning,
increase its use in the educational learning process, and
thus maximize its effectiveness to serve students in
their learning process and achieve the targeted learning
outcomes in light of this modern style of education that
has been formally adopted by the Jordanian
government as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic,
which caused the suspension of studies on campus but
continued electronically despite the interruption of
work and the implementation of quarantine in Jordan.
