*All these emerging situations have signaled to the need for a comprehensive search for a more viable, robust, reliable, efficient, effective, and cost-beneficial educational solutions, which according to Jegede, 2003 and Sadeq, 2003 the most logical pathway to achieve these is by embracing distance education method.

Online courses
*It is estimated that over 3.6 million people are enrolled or have taken some type of online courses. This number is expected to grow.
*There are two main types of online educational experiences: webcasts and synchronous courses.
