E-learning and Open Educational Resources

E-learning is a method that supports the educational process, transforming it from traditional lectures into an interactive system that delivers content to students using digital communication and information technology, represented through computers and their media and storage tools. E-learning relies on a fully integrated digital environment that presents courses via online networks, provides guidance and counseling, organizes exams, manages resources and processes, and evaluates them.

Advantages of E-Learning

• Integration with the digital age and enhancing students’ computer skills.
• Creating an interactive learning environment.
• Reducing costs for the university.
•  Easy retrieval of information and report generation.
• Continuous availability.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Supports self-directed learning.

We attach a guidance summary regarding the educational process:

Face-to-Face Learning refers to courses taught on campus according to the schedule of classrooms/labs announced in the student’s timetable.

The university provides its students with four learning platforms, all connected to a single platform: Hub.asu.edu.jo:

• ASU EduGate Platform – Used for asynchronous (non-interactive) learning: for all types of courses (e-learning, blended, and face-to-face). It is used for non-interactive activities such as downloading course files, assignments, discussion forums, etc.
• My ASU Platform – Used for asynchronous (non-interactive) learning: for specific purposes such as grades, academic advising, e-registration, field training, and others.
• Microsoft Teams – Used for synchronous (interactive) learning: for fully online lectures attended in real-time with the course instructor.
• ASU Online Mobile App – Used for asynchronous (non-interactive) learning on mobile devices.
