Abstract-The emergence of e-learning has created a considerable increase in the number of virtual universities worldwide. A global education system, as a key area of the future of ICT, has encouraged developers to provide various low cost learning systems. An increase in the number of Saudi universities, combined with the large number of internet users in Saudi Arabia, has provided a number of benefits to students at university level. The system development life cycle (SDLC) model proposed in this paper is tailored towards the e-learning environment, particularly in Saudi Arabian universities. The paper will also attempt to provide suggestions and possible solutions to implementing e-learning methods effectively. The objective of this paper is to present a model of a web services-based e-learning life cycle which defines all the necessary functionality for interactions between the learning centre and the learner. However, real progress in terms of designing new learning styles based on quality learning materials can be evaluated only over the long term.Index Terms-E-learning, system development life cycle, online education, e-learning centre. I. INTRODUCTIONE-learning is inclusive of, and is broadly synonymous with, multimedia learning, technology-enhanced learning, computer-based training, computer-assisted instruction, Internet-based training, web-based training, online education, virtual education, virtual learning environments, e-learning, and digital educational collaboration [1], [2]. These alternative names each emphasise a particular aspect, component or delivery method of e-learning. Teacher-student interaction within this can take place using voice, video, data and print.The use of computers and the Internet has long been advocated by educators who seek to apply a learner-centred constructivist model through the use of technology [3]. In a computer-supported environment, time and space are no longer constraints to learning; students can work collaboratively on projects either synchronously or asynchronously, whether in the classroom, at home, or anywhere else, as long as they have access to the Internet [4].Moreover, as the Net-generation grows up in a world dominated by digital devices, electronic communications, constant multimedia exposure, and the Internet, the expectation is that these tools and resources will be employed in teaching and learning as well. With the advent of multimedia and other new technologies, teachers could enable their students to learn in more productive ways [5]. Manuscript received September 10, 2013; revised November 13, 2013.

“…Saudi Arabian educationalists showed a rising realization in the recent years of technologies regarding the computer usage and the Internet, within the development of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching and learning. [4] In KSA, the mandatory gender-isolation by spiritual, public and ethnic heritage has highly affected the success of females within the higher education centres. Hence on-line Learning could be smart plan to get rid of such obstacles [5] Moreover, there was no effort to review the studies in a systematic way, in order to give a clear view about the E-Learning in academics for students in the field of Universities and schools of Saudi Arabia.…”

E-Learning plays a significant part in the educational field. Many Arab institutions follow the style of E-Learning under field education. Many papers have been showed to understand the role of E-Learning. This paper focuses on Saudi Arabian Schools and Universities regarding their development in E-Learning and the issues faced in the institutions while experiencing it. It is based on Systematic literature review of E-Learning research by collecting and reviewing the studies published from the year 2018 till 2010 to know the situation of E-Learning inside Saudi Arabian schools as well as Universities. This Paper identified around 45 studies which addressed E-Learning. It reflects that the E-Learning has shown a massive development in the past 2 years. The paper covered the research themes such as E-Learning, Students, Schools, Universities and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). It also states the situation in E-Learning under educational sectors of KSA and their issues faced among the people which can be focused and concluded as a part of future research.

“…This kind of saying emphasizes on the physical characteristics of the learning environment of the students. The writer thinks that the network-based language learning environment could be seen as an environment which is the combination of the real hardware environment and the virtual software environment [8]. When the teachers are designing the network learning environment, they must make a comprehensive consideration of the designing process.…”

A Ab bs st tr ra ac ct t-The teaching model based on Multimedia network is proposed to improve the efficiency and effect of mechanical English learning, the advantages of computer-assisted learning is analyzed. By means of comparing the results of the experimental teaching model, conclusions are drawn that the experimental type (ET) can stimulate students' motivation much more than the control type (CP) can do. To elaborate the theoretical foundations of both task-based language teaching (TBLT) and computer assisted language learning (CALL) for mechanical engineering students, it shows the necessity and feasibility of TBLT based on Multimedia-Network for mechanical English. A teaching model for mechanical English is constructed which includes an experimental research in its application in teaching mechanical engineering students. The result of the experiment proves that the taskbased teaching model based on multimedia network changes the students' passive attitude in traditional teaching process and makes them more active in the class. In this case students' interest and creativity are stimulated and their autonomous learning ability can be trained.
