Evaluation of the use of the Moodle Platform for Fundamental Physics Lectures at University

“…Researchers studied the benefits of E-Learning, where learners do not need teachers to be in the exact physical location, which will complement and support traditional face-to-face learning (Rasool & Dawood 2021). Clark and Mayer (2011) define the term E-Learning as: "instruction delivered on a digital device such as a computer or mobile device intended to support learning".…”

“…It imposes an expansion of the use of these tools for interactive learning environments. Other studies and researchers using the Moodle platform in college should force universities to change how they teach E-Learning strategies (Rasool & Dawood 2021).
