Abstract

E-learning and e-courses have received great practical and research interest during the previous years. Recently, there has been a growing interest in increasing efficiency and adherence to quality standards for e-learning and e-courses. With the restrictions imposed by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to reliance on e-learning and e-courses, this has increased the interest of higher education institutions, especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Dar Al-Uloom University has developed a framework to ensure the quality of electronic and electronic learning courses DAU-EQEM The framework consists of eight standards, And that was applied through this study on 272 electronic courses distributed over three colleges in addition to the university preparation program at Dar Al Uloom University. To verify the evaluation results, the evaluation results were matched with the results of a survey of students' perception at the university about the quality of e-courses. The questionnaire consists of 5 themes and 25 items. The results showed a great convergence in the results of the evaluation tools used to verify the quality of electronic courses at Dar Al Uloom University. The results also showed an advanced level of quality of e-courses at Dar Al Uloom University, with the need to develop plans to ensure continuous improvement and raise the level of performance related to the e-learning system and its e-courses.

Highlights

E-learning includes all educational and interactive activities that individuals and groups deal with in a synchronized or asynchronous manner over the Internet or internal networks. [1]
E-learning and distance learning were the best alternative to ensure the continuity of the educational process, and as a result, there has been a significant increase in reliance on e-learning, e-courses and virtual classes
The results of the colleges' evaluation reflect a very good level of student satisfaction levels for all colleges, where the evaluation rates ranged between (70% to 80%), while the university preparation program (UPP) achieved an advanced level of student satisfaction levels that reached (90%), the results show that all dimensions needs to be reviewed to develop continuous improvement plans for the quality requirements of ecourses and e-learning at Dar Al Uloom University, dimension No.5 " Evaluation and Measurement "

Summary

Introduction

E-learning includes all educational and interactive activities that individuals and groups deal with in a synchronized or asynchronous manner over the Internet or internal networks. [1]. E-learning includes all educational and interactive activities that individuals and groups deal with in a synchronized or asynchronous manner over the Internet or internal networks. E-learning changed learning patterns and strengthened self-learning and distance learning strategies. COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a major impact on all sectors and imposed restrictions on them calling for changing the way of business processes and patterns of communication between stakeholders. E-learning and distance learning were the best alternative to ensure the continuity of the educational process, and as a result, there has been a significant increase in reliance on e-learning, e-courses and virtual classes. Describes the learning objectives and outcomes that. Learning objectives and 2 outcomes learners will be able to do upon completion of the course and relate them to the various course activities
