Abstract

In the recent scenarios, the application of new technologies, tools and computers plays a prominent role in the learning as well as teaching. E-learning (Electronic learning) is considered as the most important mechanism for knowledge sharing in various application domains, especially in the education field. Accessibility of learning materials at their users own comfortable time, space independent, mode of study and feedback options are the major benefits that makes students to learn conveniently in the e-learning environment. From different sources, it is understood that, there is a remarkable digital divide among urban and rural areas education in Morocco, this issue is taken as field of interest. The main challenges affecting the school education in rural areas are accessibility of educational resources, security for girl children and offers cultural aspects.

This further restriction to education for girls and women highlights the complicated nature of tackling the issue on a worldwide scale. The objective of this research is to propose an electronic learning (e-learning) portal using open source technologies to provide digital learning platform that motivate rural women participation in learning and empower human development in the rural areas. A framework of intelligent e-learning model based on Intelligent Decision Tree (ID3) algorithm is introduced to conduct a qualitative analysis on the student’s online learning behaviors in the e-learning portal. It offers e-learning services to promote modern education in the remote areas of Morocco within the framework of e-douar project and frugal Inclusive Social Collaborative Smart City Casablanca in collaboration with Avinashilingam University for Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
