by Khalid Alrawi, Khalifa H. Jaber
International Journal of Trade and Global Markets (IJTGM), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2008

Abstract: The ever-growing interest of educational institutions and academic communities in e-learning and the increasing number of related papers and papers reflect the need for improving or creating new theories that better support e-learning. This paper discusses the view prevailing in educational institutions, in general, and the Arab universities, in particular, in terms of their continuous efforts to adopt and expand the implementation and integration of information technologies in teaching and learning. Officials at these institutions believe that e-Learning has the potential to promote learning opportunities and equity through the use of technology. This research is an exploratory one that reflects academics point of view of e-learning in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. As the Arab nations are diverse, it may not be possible to coordinate a single or unified education system.
