Challenges and Opportunities of E-Learning for Libyan Universities: A Case Study of Wadi Alshatti University
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The reconstruction and development projects for educational institutions have led to partial and, in some cases, complete closures at the beginning of the 2024/2025 academic year. Creating exceptional circumstances that hindered the continuation of traditional education. Consequently, Wadi Alshatti University found itself facing a significant challenge: implementing remote education as an alternative solution. Some colleges within Wadi Alshatti University adopted e-learning through virtual classrooms as a primary educational system during this period. E-learning provides educational services that transcend the constraints of time and space imposed by traditional education, enabling all students to engage in learning 24/7 through virtual classrooms. However, the transition from traditional learning to e-learning is a complex task, as it encompasses cultural, organizational, and technical aspects for both universities and students. This research discusses the outcomes of the e-learning experience at Wadi Alshatti University for the academic year (2024–2025), examining the challenges faced by this experience, the lessons learned, and highlighting its advantages and disadvantages.
