Facilitating Access to Distance Education Channels for Faculty Members

Due to the frequent complaint of multiple distance learning channels and environments, the many respective manuals, and due to the desire of a number of male and female faculty members to gather these all on one page, here we provide an introduction to all electronic learning environments. It introduces them all and gathers together all links on the university site, whether in the Deanship of E-Learning and Distance Education, the Deanship of Information Technology, or others. Thanks and gratitude are extended for the generous work of the two deanships. Please be informed that there are also direct links to the most important environments in the site navigation menu.

First: E-learning environment (Blackboard program):

This is the primary environment for interacting with students; it has an integrated website containing teaching materials, assessment methods, questions, virtual classrooms, etc. It is one of the best ways to interact with male and female students.
