Despite the importance of adopting technology-enhanced learning within higher education institutions, Arab countries are still slow to change. Arab Universities are facing the need to adopt new methods of learning to serve the demands of a changing demography in the higher education community as well as the requirements of Industry 4.0 and Society 4.0. E-Learning and distance education are not just about technology, but they are about education, pedagogy, curriculum design, research, and innovation. The book also discusses the best methods to implement these modes of learning while taking into consideration all the hurdles and challenges specific to the Arab world. The needs of students (undergraduate and postgraduate), faculty, and the university at large are considered while drawing on the best quality-assurance practices to ensure the quality of education remains uncompromised. Also featured in this book are experiences from Arab Universities and recommendations for improvements that facilitate the use of education technology tools as part the university?s pedagogy to harness the full potential for implementing e-learning and distance education. . 606 $aEducation 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aEthnology$xMiddle East  606 $aCulture 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aDigital Education and Educational Technology 606 $aSociety 606 $aMiddle Eastern Culture 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aEducaciķ superior$2thub 606 $aUniversitats$2thub 606 $aInvestigaciķ$2thub 607 $aPaīsos ārabs$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrōnics$2thub 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aEthnology$xMiddle East . 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aEducation. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aDigital Education and Educational Technology. 615 24$aSociety. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Culture. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 7$aEducaciķ superior 615 7$aUniversitats 615 7$aInvestigaciķ 676 $a370 700 $aBadran$b Adnan$01425690 701 $aBaydoun$b Elias$01425691 701 $aHillman$b Sandra$01425692 701 $aMesmar$b Joelle$01425693 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910742499003321 996 $aHigher Education in the Arab World$93556397 997 $aUNINA
