The importance of e-learning to achieve the goals of the academic program

E-learning is one of the most important forms of education at the present time, technology is the language of the times, and education technology has become one of the basic necessities for the development of educational and educational systems, and the improvement of various aspects of education, and e-learning includes the advantages of distance education as well as technology in synchronous and asynchronous communication, which adds a lot The advantages of education are summarized as follows:

·         Delivering study materials and information very quickly and accurately without regard to space and time. Messages and scientific materials can also be stored until the receiving party is ready to read them, as is the case in asynchronous communications.

·         Most of them represent two-way communication lines, and this important feature provides an interactive relationship between the student, the teacher, the academic supervisor, and his fellow students and allows a kind of intellectual dialogue in the educational process. We find e-mail and computer conferences that allow students and academic supervisors to exchange information and inquiries among themselves.

·         It provides new ways and methods for teaching and learning, such as video and computer-mediated conferences, and works to enhance the use of the Internet and its contents of information, educational resources and search mechanisms.

·         It improves cooperation between teachers, which leads to more effective educational cooperation. It also facilitates cooperation between local and foreign experts, especially at the level of graduate studies from inside or outside the country.

·         It provides feedback between the teacher and the learners, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. It also gives ample time for the learners to think and reflect before answering or giving an opinion.

·         Teaching some subjects such as music and art, and conducting experiments and demonstrations in science and technology requires non-print media, as it cannot be taught in an effective manner that meets the requirements without using the modern audio-visual media provided by e-learning.

·         It encourages cooperative learning, teamwork, and linking groups of learners to each other, even if they are far apart. It also supports public seminars and the exchange of opinions between individuals and those with common interests.

·         It contributes to arousing the interest and desire of learners as it provides an educational environment full of diverse knowledge and experiences for each learner to take what interests them.

·         It leads to the development of higher-order thinking abilities through creative scientific thinking in solving problems and arranging and organizing ideas.

·         It helps to achieve the goal of education aimed at developing new attitudes and modifying behavior.

·         It gives privacy in the educational process, where individuals differ in terms of their absorptive abilities, and learning takes place in isolation and gives the opportunity for trial and error without any feeling of embarrassment.

·         Increasing the possibility of academic cooperation between learners, through the ease of communication between these parties in several directions such as discussion boards, e-mail and dialogue rooms, which increases opportunities for discussion and exchange of views.

·         It helps to overcome shyness and hesitation, as the communication tools allow each learner the opportunity to express his opinion at any time and without embarrassment, and this type of education provides a full opportunity for the learner for discussion and dialogue.

·         It is easy to reach the teacher and academic advisor in the fastest time and with less trouble, even outside official working hours, by e-mail.

·         Multiple teaching methods to suit individual differences, as it is possible to receive the scientific material in a way that suits the learners, some of them suit the visual method, and some of them suit the audio or read method, e-learning and its sources allow the possibility of applying the sources in different ways.

·         The construction of the educational material was characterized by a self-teaching style.

·         It provides curricula throughout the day and on all days of the week to give flexibility and smoothness in the educational process, allowing the opportunity to learn for community members despite special circumstances and family responsibilities.

·         Ease and multiplicity of methods for assessing the learner's phase in the e-learning system, as it provided tools that analyze grades, results, tests, and semester work.

Enable to make maximum use of information and research, as technology has given the learner the possibility of immediate access to information in the appropriate place and time
