Description
1.INTRODUCTION In today's world, determined by a large number of dynamic technological changes, education is taking one of the most important positions in everyone's life and human intellectual capital is becoming dominant factor for any job. Education as a traditional process is very expensive, as well as not accessible to everyone. To solve these two problems and to rapid development of information technology in the last decade, completely new concept of education is becoming extremely popular, e-learning. According to Wentling et al. (2000), e-learning is the acquisition and use of knowledge, distributed and facilitated primarily by different electronic means, and Fry (2000) further expands this definition and says that e-learning is a delivery of training and education via networked interactivity and a range of other knowledge collection and distribution technologies. It gives the opportunity for students to communicate with their professors virtually, and to learn and pass the course without meeting their professor in person or coming to location where he/she teaches. In this kind of environment, learning process is self-motivated and self-paced, and it is quite different from traditional teaching and learning environment because students have more control and flexibility, as well as more responsibility for their learning. With both its synchronous and asynchronous features this approach allows access without time and place barriers. Students are active and positive as they learn from direct and authentic experiences and professors' role changes dramatically to facilitator and guide (El-Deghaidy, Nouby, 2008).
