Online Learning Challenges

     The use of the Internet in the educational process is not new today, but dates back to before the year 2000. Most universities today use the so-called "Learning Management Systems. E-learning has provided the opportunity for many students to realize their dreams, by completing their studies online and achieving their dreams of obtaining university degrees. E-learning has many types and characteristics, which we will learn about in the coming lines. We will also learn about the most important and most prominent challenges facing e-learning from the perspective of students, parents and teachers as well.

    In fact, a study conducted in 2013 confirmed that the nature of the human mind interacts more with paper materials with a greater percentage than digital screens, in terms of absorbing difficult and complex information, and other studies have shown that one class in the classroom is equal to 3 classes received by the student through distance education technology.  This is in addition to the negative impact that limits the development of students on the social and emotional level, which is why it has become one of the most challenging distance education challenges that we face today. As a result of students not being able to go to schools and universities, it has become difficult to use some resources that support the distance education process, including libraries and reference materials, as well as technical materials, such as equipment, gyms and musical instruments. 

    Perhaps the most prominent challenges of online education facing many people is the lack of a high-speed internet in their homes, and with the adoption of online education technology officially in various parts of the world, it has become annoying for many people, some of them are unable to join the lessons and some of them has difficulty with continuous communication, which leads to the loss of important information as a result of interrupted communication. In the past, education expenses were limited to paying school fees only, but in our time these expenses have increased and it has become necessary to offer a personal

computer for each student at home, which means that if the family has 4 students, whether in schools or universities, this means the necessity of having a personal computer for each of them, which leads to an increase in the burdens and costs on the parents, and thus increases the difficulties and challenges for the families with limited income. Moreover, this problem is considered one of the most common problems that parents face during distance education, which is the inability to give a room for each student, and it is worth noting that some jobs have become remote, and with the need to work at a regular pace and on a daily basis, it has become necessary to offer rooms for parents as well, and this  It's almost impossible, since not everyone has a big house. 

    At last, the majority believes that a new hybrid model of education will emerge with great benefits, but after development and benefiting from the mistakes that have occurred, the integration of information technology into education will be accelerated further and that online education will eventually become an integral part of the education process.
