Abstract
Online education has positively influences student performance during universities lockdown nowadays due to COVID-19, in fact both educators and students have proven their ability to develop their teaching skills by emerging several technological tools. This article analyses the performance of two cohorts of students, the first cohort was taught traditionally while the other was taught online, the scope of this study is the students enrolled in programming languages at the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology at Jerash University, the study was carried out between the years 2017 - 2020. 1210 students have participated in the study. This study investigates a comparative study between different methods of delivering programming-languages courses over the 3-year period, the study also aims to shed light on the impact of traditional methods on delivering computer-programming courses and how it could be improved by emerging a SCORM learning multimedia and other learning modules, activities and resources. Result shows that online delivering of courses with the use of SCORM and other tools improves students’ scores and performance slightly, the article concludes that emerging technology to learning can improve the students' creativity, understanding and performance overall.
Highlights
This study investigates a comparative study between different methods of delivering programming-languages courses over the 3-year period, the study aims to shed light on the impact of traditional methods on delivering computer-programming courses and how it could be improved by emerging a SCORM learning multimedia and other learning modules, activities and resources
Brick and mortar education refers to the traditional way of teaching, by which students come to campus and attend classes physically, while the term e-learning is usually referring to the education take place online or over the internet, most of the universities use nowadays different platform of learning management systems such as Blackboard and Moodle. eLearning cut-off a lot of expenses and make teaching more flexible, accessible and even more convenient
Several techniques might be emerged with online learning such as SCORM which stands for Shared Content Object Reference Model, SCORM enable educators to merge different multimedia element in designing their courses (HTML, text, animation, image, video, audio, etc...), eLearning platform connect all of these elements altogether to generate one hyperlink, this particular tools make students life much easier as the course will be displayed as a set of well-organized hyperlinks for each topic, technically, SCORM courses are designed using certain authoring tools (i.e., Lectora, Adobe Captivate, courselab, etc...) to merge and integrate all multimedia elements to produce the content, the SCORM consists of three components: Content Aggregation Model, Run-Time Environment, and Navigation

Brick and mortar education refers to the traditional way of teaching, by which students come to campus and attend classes physically, while the term e-learning is usually referring to the education take place online or over the internet, most of the universities use nowadays different platform of learning management systems such as Blackboard and Moodle. eLearning cut-off a lot of expenses and make teaching more flexible, accessible and even more convenient. Several techniques might be emerged with online learning such as SCORM which stands for Shared Content Object Reference Model, SCORM enable educators to merge different multimedia element in designing their courses (HTML, text, animation, image, video, audio, etc...), eLearning platform connect all of these elements altogether to generate one hyperlink, this particular tools make students life much easier as the course will be displayed as a set of well-organized hyperlinks for each topic, technically, SCORM courses are designed using certain authoring tools (i.e., Lectora, Adobe Captivate, courselab, etc...) to merge and integrate all multimedia elements to produce the content, the SCORM consists of three components: Content Aggregation Model, Run-Time Environment, and Navigation These particular authoring tools enable the user to generate a zip file that is compatible with LMS platforms to be uploaded to learners. We have developed a SCORMs for our programming-language courses so as to allow further choices for students to learn with passion, the students could download to entire SCORM and browse the course offline, basically, SCORM helps in reaching more students since it supports sophisticated eLearning delivery, it evaluated the students during their progress in navigating the content of the course
