Abstract

In last decade, there has been a growing awareness in E-Learning which is the most recent type of distance education, and becomes a highly significant model of educational technology. Today e-Learning studies indicate that there is an increasing use of this educational scheme for students, trainers and instructors which improve the learning capability of the students and trainee by depending on student-centered learning (SCL) scheme rather than using the traditional teacher or trainer centered teaching mechanism.However, students’ awareness for the advantage of using e-Learning has not been significantly investigated, especially in Iraq. The aim of this article is to inspect students’ awareness of the using of e-Learning at the Dohuk Polytechnic University. Participants involved in this study were 100 students studying the C++ programming language course during 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 academic years and 210 students studying computer application course during 2018-2019.

Highlights

The process of distributing the electronic questionnaire form to the students participating in the course was supervised by the researchers
This study aims at comparing E-Learning and traditional teaching in the classroom of academic institutions which is face-to-face learning method. and explore the possibility of implementing the full E-Learning or partially implementation and try to provide support for the traditional system
The element of time is significant for both the instructor and the student, in E-Learning learner has immediate access to the course materials at any time and any location, it fit students’ schedule much better than traditional classroom learning, making participants motivated to learn and improve their performance as students can learn at their own pace and speed

Summary

Introduction

The process of distributing the electronic questionnaire form to the students participating in the course was supervised by the researchers. The results of this research showed that students have a high awareness for E-Learning system as a new approach of study and self-learning. What can be clearly seen in the research results is that students understanding for the utilization of e-Learning are significantly positive. Results of this study indicated that E-Learning possibly will be as effective as traditional training and learning method, Electronic learning is a technological education that act as a substantial character in modernist education and trainee-ship. E-learning is one of the latest directions of learning that has emerged to defy the classical “bucket theory” or banking Understandable of teaching.
