“…It is because students mostly pick ethical and moral values through physical interaction and social surroundings. Literature indicates that e-learning seems to be illequipped in imparting these values because of the aforementioned reasons (Muhammad, 2018).…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Under the influence of neo-liberalism and marketization, education is increasingly becoming more content-focused than character one. Ignoring the fact that money, science, and technology may take a person to the moon, these are ethical and moral values that take him/her to the even loftier heights of humanity. Recent COVID-19-driven focus on information and communication technology (ICT) and digital learning have further added to these woes by focusing more on human-machine interaction than human-human ones. Traditional models for inculcating these values through education which heavily rely on the physical presence of teachers do not seem to work in these circumstances. This demands a model for inculcating these values in learning management systems/ e-learning platforms. This study contributes in this regard by first identifying key players and factors, and then proposing a model for it. Using the Delphi model, it gathers opinions from 59 experts in two rounds. Academic institutions, society and online community members, teachers, and e-contents were identified as key factors and players. It suggests a holistic approach-based model through which all of them play their role and collaborate through an e-learning platform. That platform can be used to disseminate information, create awareness, monitor, and report the e-learners. It uses pull and push strategies to help the e-learners to develop those values.</p>

Transformation to the digital system has made life easier, and the acceptance of the e-learning system in the academic life of students is a fact. Therefore, many educational organizations use the e-learning environment for teachinglearning activities. The present study has been conducted to evaluate the awareness of the undergraduate students to ethics and to determine if there is a difference according to gender and academic level variables when using an e-learning system at Al-Balqa Applied University in Jordan. A self-questionnaire has been designed to measure the participant's awareness of ethics. It consists of 20 items classified in three ethical categories; Intellectual property rights, vandalism and Privacy. The results show that the awareness of students is low in all three categories regarding their commitment to the ethical issues when using an e-learning system. Result also show that there are no significant differences between undergraduate students' gender and academic level related to the awareness of ethical issues. Therefore, undergraduate students should be fully knowledgeable about ethical issues to avoid unethical behavior while using of the e-learning system.
