The Impact of E-Learning on Egyptian Higher Education and its Effect on Learner’s Motivation: A Case Study

Web-based learning tools provide integrated environments of various technologies to support diverse educators' and learners' needs via the Internet. An open source Moodle e-learning platform has been implemented at universities in Egypt as an aid to deliver e-content and to provide the institution with various possibilities for implementing asynchronous e-learning web-based modules. This paper shows that the use of interactive features of e-learning increases the motivation of undergraduate students for the learning process.
