Just like other countries, E-learning still the only way to reach and teach your students. But in Iraq, we (tutors and students) didn't practice E-learning before so that it is suffering drawbacks.

you are right DR. thanks for reply

I think we need to reframe e-learning to learning socially online. Students in this day and age (regardless of age) are far more likely to be digital consumers, Facebooking, Tweeting, Instagramming, FaceTiming etc. They are very comfortable connecting to others by face/voice/text. If we consider using more of these types of tools in the online classroom, we can "put a face" on the class in a way that makes students feel engaged and connected. Use YouTube, Zoom and VoiceThread to upload assignments that use video and voice. Students are more satisfied in the online environment when they feel like they get to know you as an instructor and a person, and they get to know their classmates as people. Encourage sharing, not just of classwork, but on a personal level as well. I took all of my own studies online, and had some great classes, and some classes completely devoid of any human interaction. I build in multiple opportunities for students to connect with each other and me, and I get a lot of comments that they feel more engaged then in their in person classes. It can be done!

No found another method with this event, in addition to electronic communication with students we can set an exams schedules immediately after the crisis ends.

Thank you for answer

اعتقد ان تجربة التعليم الالكتروني جأت بصورة مفأجئة لكلا الطرفين التدريسي والطالب بحكم الظرف الحالي لذلك نجد ان اغلب الطلبة يعترض ولايتفاعل مع المحاضرات والبعض يرفض هذه الفكرة اضافة الى ذلك ان خدمة الانترنت غير جيدة وليست مستمرة وايضا تعطل الاجهزة بصورة مفاجئة وهناك اسباب اخرى تؤدي الى عدم نجاح طريقة التعليم الالكتروني مثل تكلفة الاشتراك وامتلاك الاجهزة والحديث يطول

thank you DR. Shaymaa Alabedi for an accurate answer

Connecting with students in e-learning means a form of 'distance learning'. For distance learning, I don't see any other alternative. However, there are systems of providing course syllabus to the distance students after admissions. Such students will have more practical works which they need to do in their own locations and come up with their final reports.

Thank you Arjun Karki really really appreciate for yours contribution

There are a number of social media platforms that can be used by creating groups and subgroups as a way of keeping everyone informed and allows communications within the groups - thank of the groups created within platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook to mention the two obvious ones.

Thank you William Eastham really really appreciate for yours contribution

Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom.

thanks MR Kaukab Abid Azhar for comment

Well stated, and in addition, to the LinkedIn and Facebook platforms, we currently have the phone wasap forums and also Skype; all these are some of the methods that can transmit the learning communication - these are very convenient especially to rural and developing countries where internet is still a challenge --- although the e-learning module is still the most effective

Irene Chimoga thank you too much for yours answer and contribution

I have used both Zoom Conferences and Microsoft Teams this week to connect with individuals - teach them different things.

اعتقد هي الوسيلة المتاحة حاليا في هذه الظروف وهي جيدة الاانها تواجه مشاكل كثيرة خصوصا في البلدان النامية بالنسبة لشراءالاجهزة الالكترونية ومبالغ الاشتراك وضعف الشبكة والدخل المحدود وانقطاع التيار الكهربائي ......الخ

كلام سليم دكتوره شكرا جزيلا لمساهمتكم الرائعة شيماء رشيد

There seem to be an array of techniques; zoom/video conferencing; platforms where students download a video of instructions (you've previously recorded and uploaded) and then complete the worksheets attached; small groups, bigger groups; an interactive conference call and lecture-style presentations.

Charlotte Kay thank you so much I really appreciate your answer and contribution

Alaa Fadhil thank you for awesome answer

Dear Ali Al-obaidi I believe without traditional education, it becomes really hard for the online teacher to ascertain which student is doing other work, sleeping, unable to understand course outline, or absent altogether. This happens, when an online learning course fails to incorporate an important learning key, i.e., individualized connection with the teacher.

many thanks

I think preparing video lectures, as for example commercial platforms like Udemy and SkillShare do is possible way too. I am trying to use this method for training employees in non-academic environment at the moment.

I think it is a good and complementary method for academic education

Rather than the traditional E-teaching of just sending resource materials and assignments; effectiveness of E-learning can be monitored and achieved through live discussions including that of writing assignments and tests on ZOOM and other live media.

remotely teaching is challenging, particularly if we can't connect with the students visually. So, my short answer for effective teaching is NO.

e-learning + wats app.

Teacher substitution with technology neglecting the role of direct communication and the student’s level.?

Conference video calls but it will be a challenge as most students may lack resources such as data to keep to pace.

This is a great question and the answers could vary depending on how you define eLearning and connect? For the sake of brevity, I am going to assume is eLearning is the content itself. To that end, much of the design features of TAM and other models may be of assistance.

*Non content issues for eLearning

Support - have support systems built into the eLearning system itself rather than having students go outside. This may mean building extra modules or providing extra credit assignments where students demonstrate proficiency (video uploaded to a link or deposited in dropbox)

*Ease of use - Make the eLearning system easy to use. A modular design based on time (week 1, week 2, etc), using tools that do not require extensive training, and lately I have been providing templates that help the students more easily determine my personal expectations

CSE - Computer Self-efficacy, belief that they can navigate an eLearning system may help here. Relate to the tech they use every day students' (they can do it) and/or connect it to students motivations and stressors aside from course content. They often cannot see the line and if it is directly connected to their worries and goals they are more likely to adopt.

Culture - build the divisive course around shared values of either institution, religious, national, or other common cultural features. For the COVID semester, I put out a weekly class newspaper that had news headlines from the school newspaper, city, and national but was careful to curate the stories around mutual interests rather than devisive topics.

Reliability use systems that have high reliability, if they are unavailable tap into support systems that are more reliable as back up. So if the video conferencing system goes down have a chat board next to it that can be easily accessed, if the high tec is not possible, perhaps have a number where they can leave a message or SMS location that is for tech services and workarounds.

Expert - the article also recommends, especially for initial course design, Noncontentave an expert or seasoned professional part of the process.

Non eLearning alternatives for content

If you are looking at trying to get around eLearning all together there are some alternatives

Correspondence courses - elongated asynchronous cycle but maybe a fit where either networks or electricity are not reliable

Project-based instruction - Article below details models for both tech supported and nontech supported models.

Valiathan, P. (2002). Blended learning models. Learning circuits, 3(8), 50-59.

Teaching classes in the remote formula, via the Internet, in the form of on-line e-learning are currently conducted using various internet platforms enabling conducting videoconferences (e.g. ZOOM, Google Meet, MsTeems, Cisco Webex etc.), also using messengers Internet (e.g. Skype) and e-learning platforms functioning in the university's online information systems (e.g. Moodle). ZOOM is mainly used by students and teachers in primary and secondary schools. Currently, in many countries, in many schools and colleges in connection with the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease, a significant part of didactic processes have been converted into passive and / or active e-learning forms. As part of passive e-learning, teachers send specific tasks, didactic materials, instructions, homework, project topics to be implemented to e-learning platforms, etc. As part of active e-learning, teachers and pupils or students participate in online classes in in real time using applications and internet messengers. In connection with the above, in recent months there has been a dynamic increase in the use of ICT and Internet information technologies in the application of teaching processes in a remote form via the Internet. More and more teachers and students use e-learning applications and platforms through which online real-time teaching classes are conducted remotely. Mobile devices enabling access to the Internet, i.e. mainly smartphones, are increasingly used for this purpose.

Greetings,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Currently, due to the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, many classes are taught in many schools and universities remotely, via the Internet, in the form of online e-learning, via online platforms enabling teaching by videoconference. In a situation when a pandemic enters the extinction phase, then some of the classes will again be conducted in the traditional, stationary form in the school and university building. Therefore, in the future the scale of conducting didactic classes in the hybrid formula will probably increase, i.e. conducting part of didactic classes in the traditional form and other classes in the e-learning form.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Dear Dr. Ali Al-obaidi ,

The only platform I can think of and readily available is via online learning. However, many can not quickly access due to unavailable wifi signals in remote areas, which are many in the Philippines. Until such time that this pandemic will enter into its extinction phase as what Dr. Prokopowicz has said. Thank you, helpful question. ---Luz

I think aside from eLearning provided by the Universities around the world are using the Youtube platform, Google platform, Hangout, Skype, TV, and Radio.

Other social media, Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber, Messenger, Youtube, Google platform, ... etc.

Dear Dr. Ali Al-obaidi ,

I believe that mixed education will be the strategic solution for the current period and beyond.

I totally agree with the recommendations of Dr. Majeed Rashid Zaidan and Dr. Ronald Valledor Gomeseria .

Generally speaking, asynchronous tools, such as forums and wikis, are more appropriate for tasks that require reflection and more time to accomplish. Asynchronous discussions are especially valuable where learners are too shy or lack language fluency to collaborate effectively in real time conversations. However, synchronous tools, like Chats or Audio/Video conferences, provide higher social presence. For example, in virtual classrooms, learners can use chats to offer comments and answer questions during the presentation, ,(Ghirardini, 2011).

E-Learning activities can be realized by using a range of communication tools – both synchronous and asynchronous. Some of these tools, such as wikis, blogs and chats, are called “social media” or “Web2” tools, because they have a strong social component and allow people to work together to create products, such as a project document. The most common tools are,(Ghirardini, 2011):

 E-mail Based tools

 Discussion Forums

 Wikis and other shared writing/editing tools

 Blogs

 Webcasting

 Chat and instant messaging (IM)

 Polling

 Whiteboard and screen-sharing tools

 Application sharing

 Audio and Video conferences
