Abstract

The rapid development in information and communication technology has considerably affected all scientific, service, health, media fields as well as government institutions services. The field of education comes at the forefront of the areas that have greatly been impacted in a positive way, as scientific resources and electronic books have become accessible to learners and researchers thanks to their availability on the websites of governmental and non-governmental scientific institutions. Moreover, researchers have also received a bonus of being granted a scientific status and material and moral rewards when they publish research and scientific articles. This has paved the way for learners to reach their goals. The outbreak of the Coronavirus has been an incentive for educational institutions to adopt e-learning in the world in general and in Iraq in particular, in the sense that pandemic has geared the attention of researchers and decision-makers of educational institutions towards e-learning and making it part of the learning methods for learners.
