Exclusive Interview with Dr. Narimane

e-Learning 'has hurdles to clear'

Nour Samaha – The National Newspaper.

The assistant head of the UAE’s first "e-university" has said that "cultural resistance" is allowing the Arab world to lag far behind the West in online learning.

"e-Learning is the future, said Dr Narimane Hadj-Hamou, assistant vice chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed E-University.

She said it was the only way to make up for the shortage of university places in the region.

"Countries here cannot always afford to build conventional bricks-and-mortar universities," she said.

"To overcome certain challenges, especially societal issues, online learning is the only viable alternative. There is still cultural resistance to online learning in this part of the world, but people need to realise that it’s important to move forward."

e-Learning is taking off slowly in the region. However, she acknowledged there were hurdles to be cleared before it could spread.

"Countries like Sudan and Libya, for example, are not advanced in ICT [information and communication technology] and internet penetration.

"And some governments and ministries are reluctant to advance forward and away from conventional learning." Read More
