E-learning has entered all areas of life through its various uses, including the educational / learning field. It has been followed by advanced educational systems as an educational technology in classrooms and scientific laboratories as well as individual learning via Internet networks, and in light of this the feature of modern educational institutions has become the use of computers in education and in self-learning through electronic learning (EL) strategies and applications because this technology takes into account the individual differences between Learners help them acquire scientific knowledge and thinking skills as well as the development of scientific skills.
With an objective view of the researcher on the reality of teaching in general in schools, it was noticed that the traditional teaching methods still prevail among most male and female teachers despite the educational directives of these male and female teachers by adopting modern teaching methods and strategies and employing computers in the field of school education, and in this direction the researcher found that the use of methods Traditional and lack of use of computers in education led to a decline in student achievement and its scientific applications.
The importance of research comes from its problem, which came in response to modern educational trends in keeping pace with modern scientific, technical and educational developments in line with the nature of societies and their future aspirations in order to build an educated generation that is aware of the importance of the nature of these societies' importance and their material and human resources. The importance of e-learning has emerged greatly after the emergence of Corona disease, and most countries following this method in universities and schools, and among these countries, Iraq has made education electronically. The educational process in Iraq has faced great challenges due to Iraq’s lack of prior educational experiences in the field of using e-learning, among the most important of these challenges:
1. Cheating during an exam or test, as the technical development that the Ministry of Education and Higher Education uses in order to conduct and apply e-learning is the same technology that students may employ in taking the exam and sending test answers to the teacher.
2. The absence of live and direct interaction between the student and the teacher, which is the most important factor in delivering the material to the student.
3. The weakness of the Internet connection, where a high speed of flow is required. According to the latest statistics, the speed of flow in Iraq has recorded very low scores in this area.
4. The weakness of the universities' sites, not to update them permanently and not to organize them due to the lack of specialists in this field.
5. Lack of awareness of the teacher, as well as his lack of interest in this type of education, due to the lack of interest on the part of officials, in this type of education because they are from the generation of traditional education.
6. The university’s lack of interest in this type of education, and its failure to activate it by states, by not harnessing all the capabilities of this type of education.
7. The student’s lack of desire in this type of learning because they prefer ready-made lectures, and also prefer the traditional method, as the latter is characterized by a lack of effort on the part of the student who is content with just receiving.
Main Solutions:
1.Investing the summer vacation (in the event that the attendance starts within the next two months) in increasing the number of workshops and training courses for e-learning, as most of the workshops that were previously held are nothing more than routine and were not properly invested.
2. Appointing specialists to manage e-learning systems, as it is a non-trivial system that needs study and intelligence in implementation and application. Therefore, there must be a qualified and capable staff to manage this educational system synonymous with the teaching staff.
3. Intensifying media efforts towards society in order to spread the e-culture for e-learning. Community culture is a factor in the success of any scientific project.
4. Creating a special questionnaire for e-learning prepared by specialists from sociology, psychology, and education for students, with the aim of realizing the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning and the extent of its educational feasibility for the student.
5. Returning to the electronic lecture, it is necessary to form a ministerial, not a university, committee that grants broad powers that comprehensively examines the content of these lectures, both written and audio, to ensure that they comply with the scientific requirements.
In conclusion, it can be said that distance education is one of the solutions that countries have resorted to confront the spread of the "Corona" virus, and not completely disrupt the educational process at the same time; However, there are challenges facing this process in some countries due to the lack of the necessary technological infrastructure and the spread of electronic illiteracy.
