This research aimed at investigating the factors influencing instructor's intention to adopt e-learning by usingTechnology Acceptance Model in Jordanian universities. The paper takes a social and technical approach in its investigation by using a research theory based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to identify the factors that affect intention to adopt e-learning. The sample consisted of (320) instructors. They were drawn randomly from the population, by using proportional stratified random sample method. A questionnaire was develop to collect data. Validity and reliability of the tool were assured. Multiple regression Analysis was used to assess the relationships in the constructs. The findings indicated that the perceived usefulness (PU) has a significant influence on behavioral intention (BI) (P<0.01), perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) have significant influence on Attitude (AT)( P<0.01),but attitude (AT) has no significant impact on behavioral intention BI (P>0.01).The study also provides an indicator of instructors' acceptance of e-learning as well as identifying the important factors that would contribute to its successful use. The outcomes will enrich the understanding of instructor's acceptance of e-learning and will assist in its continuing implementation at Jordanian Universities.

Starting from March of 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 caused Jordanian universities to close their campuses and forced them to initiate online teaching. Learning management system (LMS) is an important tool and suitable as tool for learning and activities in a higher education. However, each university has a different LMS tool that allows users to use it in their activities. This paper is interested in investigating the acceptance of Jordanian academic staff in using an LMS after getting back to work post the COVID-19 period. The study sample consisted of 500 faculty members of different ranks, selected randomly from all Jordanian universities, for the second semester of the academic year 2020-2021. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2) has been adopted to identify the Acceptance and use of LMS. The questionnaire developed by the researcher was based on past research studies. Simple linear regression was used to calculate the relationships between factors. The research results presented that there is a statistically positive effect of  Perceived Usefulness(PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Subjective Norm(SN) on adoption to use LMS, and  Perceived Ease of Use(PEOU), lecturers' Image(LI), Subjective Norm(SN), Job Relevance(JR), and, Result Demonstrability(RD) Output Quality(OQ) on Perceived Usefulness(PU). This study indicates that we must always conduct workshops and training programs related to learning management systems and computers to enhance the usability of learning management systems among faculty members

this study investigates the Effectiveness of an Interactive Educational Video on the Academic Achievement in Geography for Sixth-Grade Students in Madaba Governorate Schools. To achieve the objective of the study, the study was used as a quasi-experimental approach. The sample was chosen purposefully. The sample of the study consisted of (60) students of the sixth grade from the Ibntaimia School in Madaba Governate from the second semester in the university year 2019/2020. The study sample was distributed in an experimental group that has (30) students who were educated on the geography subject using an interactive video and the control group that has (30) students who were educated on the same geography subject using a traditional method. The achievement test (pre & post-test) was prepared in one instrument, and the achievement test was distributed after testing the validity and reliability of the instrument, The results of this study presented that there were significant differences at the level of significant (α≤0.05) between the experimental and control group for the benefit of the experimental group in the post-test, which were studied using the interactive video. The study detected the effectiveness of the interactive video in increasing academic achievement in geography. According to the results, the researcher recommended using interactive video in schools because of its effective way of increasing academic achievement.
