Abstract

Al Quds Open University introduced e- learning in the first semester

of the academic year 2008/2009. This study aimed at identifying the main

problems and obstacles facing students registered for blended e- learning

courses in addition to identifying their trends towards e- learning specifically

video streaming in order to advise decision makers at Al Quds Open University

on how to improve the experience and overcome the obstacles that might face

students in the future.

In order to achieve these aims, the researchers used descriptive methods

by distributing a questionnaire to collect the required data to a classified

sample of students. The size of the sample was 7% of the population reaching

total of 515 male and female students.

To The findings the study indicated that 65% of students expressed

positive attitudes towards the technique of video streaming. There are also

44% of students who supported the extension of e- learning experience to

more courses and educational regions.

The most crucial problems were due to the students themselves and not

to the university. The main obstacle was due to the fact that many students do

not own computers and internet connections. Another problem is that students

were not given orientation sessions before starting their e courses. The main

problem due to the university was the lack of lab technicians’ support at the

university
