Reviews of research efforts in the field of e-learning within the context of its effectiveness are given. Next, the methodology to be used is proposed. This is followed by a summary of the data analysis and finally the conclusions. The study was conducted in the college of business at Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. The study adopted a descriptive methodological approach to aim its methodology.
