Abstract
This research paper lists and discusses major challenges and barriers that may face faculty members at the public universities in Jordan in employing e-Learning systems authoring tools in their instructions. It also proposes several suggestions for the administrators in public universities in Jordan for what they could do to improve the utilization of e-Learning authoring tools at their campuses. E-Learning systems authoring tools allow instructors to easily create and deliver their e-contents and e-lectures. Furthermore, online course materials which uploaded by using such authoring tools could be viewed by any popular web browser system.
Highlights
Despite the fact that e-Learning has been around for ten years or so, it becomes a service offered by most colleges and universities all over the world
While e-Learning systems are becoming widely spread in higher education institutions, many such institutions are focusing on providing electronic course content (e-lectures) besides various services to their students, faculty, and staff
Most of the burden in offering these services such as communications, e-registration, and online exams is in getting the right platform and securing its database communications; whereas, the main burden in offering e-lectures is in composing the content in an electronic format that could be uploaded through the adopted platform, viewed by all students, and composed [1]
Summary
Despite the fact that e-Learning has been around for ten years or so, it becomes a service offered by most colleges and universities all over the world. While e-Learning systems are becoming widely spread in higher education institutions, many such institutions are focusing on providing electronic course content (e-lectures) besides various services to their students, faculty, and staff. Most of the burden in offering these services such as communications, e-registration, and online exams is in getting the right platform and securing its database communications; whereas, the main burden in offering e-lectures is in composing the content in an electronic format that could be uploaded through the adopted platform, viewed by all students, and composed [1]. Jordan’s first eLearning forum, held in 2003, emphasized that the educational reforms and the integration of information technology in the educational process are the most important elements in the Jordan's modernization drive. The overall progress in the use of e-Learning systems in the higher education institutions in Jordan is still relatively behind expectations
