Abstract

Technology development have affected educational delivery around the world. The utilization and implementation of online learning is rising at a staggering manner. Online Distance learning has become an urgent need recently. The use of distance learning has appeared in the past ten years, the learning has been extended by the technology from classrooms in the schools into online learning. Online Learning adopted in various universities, educational institutions and schools worldwide. Recently, with the emergency situations due to the epidemic of COVID -19, and according to the recommendations by World Health Organization for social distance, most of the educational institutions worldwide tend to utilize the online learning instead of traditional learning. Although the online learning has been implemented years ago, still it faces challenges. The author of this research paper aim to explore the key challenges that reported while implementing Online Distance Education System as Systems of Systems. The author then outlines research agenda that identifies 11 research themes that can be considered as a solution for the current Online Distance Education System implementations challenges.

Summary

Introduction

"System of Systems"(SoS) is an emerging topic that has been in use in recent years. SoS involve system consisting of several systems that are operated independently. One definition of SoS concept is as it is set of systems that are resulted from the integration of independent systems into bigger system that offer unique abilities[6]. SoS described by [8] as it has the following characteristics: systems operated, managed and evolved independently from their constituent systems, geographical distribution, and emergent behaviors. The most common and related elements to SoSE concept are systems independently operated and managed, distributed geographically, Interoperability, Complementarity, and Holism [9]. Directed SoS: consists of constituent systems that are independent and geographically distributed. The constituent systems preserve the power to run independently, their operational mode normally is subordinated to the purpose that are managed centrally [12]. Virtual SoS depends on mechanisms that are invisible in order to preserve it [8]
