E-learning for now and towards the global future
The Effectiveness of E-learning Process and Design of E-learning Environments.
Problem of the research:
Although e-learning has covered the vast educational needs, it is met by many obstacles in developing and generalizing of it worldly .
Joellen and others (2005), Kearsley (2000) and Liu (1999) decided that many learning methods like virtual, distance, online and e-learning, those form a new phenomenon in education and still making of debating issues .
Comparative studies :
*comparative Study findings of Shiang Wang (2008) indicated that non-significant differences between online learning and face-to-face learning, especially in some
cognitive and affective outcomes. Those conclusions are confirming the educational needs to research both of process and
environment of e-learning.
The questions of the research:
So the present research will be treating sequentially both of the following questions:
1-What is the e-learning process that enables students to practice of the e-learning successfully?
2 -What are the formal and constructional characteristics of e-learning environment which agree with e-learning process and enable to design an effective e-learning
system?
Importance of the research questions:
Generally; treat these main questions effectively would be helping to avoidance the critical factors of e-learning outcomes, certificates and accreditation, at the same time will respond to rarity and disagreement of the researches findings about the effectiveness of e-learning;
Theoretical, practical and organic views of the e- learning process
In order to answer the first question, which aims to know what is the e-learning process that enables students to practice of the e-learning successfully?
It is essential to treat theoretical, practical and organic views of the e-learning process, as
following :
FirstlyTheoretical view of e-learning process:
The observational learning theory for Albert Bandura, 1986 indicated the e-learning process in four concepts formulate the theory of learning by showing, which totally agree with the e-learning activities. These concepts are attention, retention, reproduction and motivation .
Theoretical view
In the book of the theory and practice of online learning, Patrick Fahy (2004, 137-141) indicated that the e-learning process: for example; observation, perception, recall, comparison and other acquiring skills which are agree with
observational learning theory items .
Theoretical view
Atkinson & Schffrin (1968) established the linear model of the human memory, which consists of short term and long term memory indicated the LP as an information perception mechanism associated with web environment, this implies that the brain receives new information through the short term memory as a working memory, then transferred and processed of it in long term memory to store it and retrieve, then backs to the short memory

SecondlyPractical view of the e-learning process:
The practical view of e-learning process discusses what are the learners' activities, especially at the same learning moment. Therefore, LP collects between manual and mental activities that
learners practice during study and research.

Studying and learning materials
Studying Based – on actual material, e.g. books, labs equipments and tools, as
limited information resources.
Studying Based –on virtual material, e.g. E-texts, simulations and
communication, as unlimited knowledge
resources.
Learning activities, thinking and performance
Concentration on reading, understanding and
evaluation, with hand reports writing. Depending
on logical thinking and manual treatment.
Using observation, perception and data

and creative thinking with manual proficiency.

interactions
Directly, through face –to- face teaching, and
expanding of dependent emotions.
Hypothetical , during of the communication, with exchange
of the instructions and feedback,
Dominating of the independent feeling.
ThirdlyAn organic view of the e- learning process:
Although that rare and few educational studies have interested in relationships between the learning process and brain operations, some researches indicate that there are three human brain parts responsible for information processing based on visual system
are; cerebrum, cerebellum, and the brain stem ,
Definitely there are four lobes in the cerebrum help the visual learning activities are; a-the Frontal Lobe that is responsible to visual problem solving, b-the Occipital Lobe that is responsible for vision and reading, c- the Parietal Lobe that is responsible for some visual functions and d- the Temporal Lobe that is
helps visual memories with Some vision pathways .

Design of the e- learning environment
1 -The persons' performances (e.g. roles of teachers,
learners, peers, and monitors).
2-The learning' curricula and materials (e.g. manipulating
sites, resources, files, graphics and labs).
3-The learning' communications (e.g. interactions with persons, messages, discussions, processes and
feedback).
