| Abstract | ||||
| E-learning refers to the dependence on technology in education. Applying e-learning in high-education institutions is important for facilitating the educational process. This research identifies obstacles impeding e-learning at the faculties of tourism and hotels in Egyptian public universities. It depended on primary data through addressing (150) questionnaires to the teaching staff of the mentioned faculties to evaluate their application of e-learning and identify its problems. The research also depended on secondary data related to its subject. The findings revealed that the majority of the mentioned faculties apply e-learning, especially after the recent Corona virus pandemic. However, there are some problems hindering the e-learning effectiveness in these faculties, e.g. the inadequate acquaintance with it. Therefore, research recommends providing clear criteria for e-learning in the mentioned faculties coping with its electronic nature and providing practical workshops about e-learning for the teaching staff, students, and parents to raise their awareness about it. | ||||
