COURSES DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Courses digital transformation is an important part of the Center’s work, as the Center has begun implementing its plan to digitize University courses so that students can directly benefit from the course’s digital content that has been transformed to this format without any direct intervention from the course professor, whose role is to follow up the educational process and its management, receive and answer students’ inquiries and questions, and evaluate students through questions, assignments and tests done by students remotely. This represents a major change in the form of the traditional educational process, students’ dependence on modern technologies in receiving information, and the teacher’s transmission to other, larger, and more important roles than to just deliver information in its traditional direct form. During the past period, the Center has succeeded in converting a set of basic courses and common university requirements in which a large number of the University students register in each academic semester in a digital format by photographing the lectures of those courses with the latest technical means that are available at the Center, and providing those lectures to students through the distance learning system, while course professors can follow up on students on an ongoing basis and communicate with them through the same system. Transformation of those basic courses is scheduled to begin for their great value in saving a lot of resources, efforts, and time, which is what distinguishes the adoption of e-learning as an essential infrastructure for the educational process.
