In today's fast paced business environment, the management of financial resources is a key to organization success. Organizations view learning increasingly as a competitive advantage. E-learning platform serves as an intermediary brining those who need content with those who can provide it [9]. Moving information to people instead of people to information is a better solution to meet exceeding training needs of employees and reduce costs. Before a management decides to implement an e-learning system they should know the goals which will be met by the system. These goals should primarily be quantitative goals. Every engineering investment decision involves a comparison of alternatives. A cost-benefit analysis should be carried out for each alternative and given to the management. This analysis will be essential for a management to decide which solution they would like to implement. Feasibility of meeting goals with available technology, human resource and cost/benefit are important parameters for informed management decision-making. Capital investment is dealing with major investments that will shape the future of an organization [1]. Because capital investment decisions involve the commitment of resources now, hopefully for future benefits, they are all subject to risk. If the future was known with certainty, decisions regarding the future would be simple, but because the future is unknown it is worth attempting to forecast what may happen by the use of evaluation techniques prior to the project's inception [1], especially under fluctuating economic environments. The bottom line in many e-learning projects is economic feasibility. E-learning feasibility study is a management-oriented activity. E-learning appraisal is the process of assessing and questioning proposals before resources are committed. A feasibility study leads to a decision go ahead, do not go ahead, or think again. A feasibility study is valuable for starting a new business, expansion of an existing business, adding an enterprise to an existing business, or purchasing an existing business. So, in this research, I will illustrate some economical dimensions of e-learning appraisal such as: cash flow forecasting, net profit, payback period, return on investment, net present value, and internal rate of return using an analytical methodology and a comparative analytical study between these dimensions.

Recent communication and information technology have unlocked entirely new directions for education and training. Mounting pressure from increasing free, online course offerings is opening discussion and catalyzing change in the physical classroom. The flipped classroom is at the center of this arena. The flipped classroom is a new pedagogical method, which employs asynchronous video lectures and practice problems as homework, and active, group-based problem solving activities in the classroom. It represents a unique combination of learning theories once thought to be incompatible -- active, problem-based learning activities founded upon a constructivist ideology and instructional lectures derived from direct instruction methods founded upon behaviorist principles. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of prior and ongoing research of the flipped classroom and introduces a case study for higher education and the perception of the both students and instructors. Studies are characterized on the type of in-class and out-of-class activities, On the other hand, we introduce some notes to help faculties to smoothly transform from traditional classroom to flipped classroom.

Social media in the educational field has become desirable and targeted because of its familiarity among people. Twitter is one such social media applications that has a feature of quickly spreading the news as they occur in real time. It has a text limit of 140 letters, which could be really interesting to use as an e-learning tool. The purpose of this paper is to, 1. Identify the susceptibility of University of Bahrain's (UOB) students to use Twitter as part of their education process, 2. Identify the preferred time when the students use Twitter, 3. Use the outcome of the first two objectives in developing a prototype that works as Twitter scheduling system to test the applicability of using bulk scheduled messages as a supporting tool in the learning process. The results of the research revealed that students at UOB do use Twitter heavily were happy to use it as an e-learning tool. Furthermore it found that the preferred times are from 9-11 pm, 11 pm -- 1 am and 10 am -- 12 pm. These timings were then used by UOB teachers to set up their bulk messages in the developed twitter scheduler system mentioned earlier. The system enables teachers to organize, customize and save their messages (tweets) for later use and reuse. Finally, it is important to notes that such system would server many other sectors, such as marketing campaigns, NGO's awareness campaigns, health education and awareness by governmental agencies, member's communication and education tools in political and professional societies.

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of 'open book-open web'(OBOW)examinations in comparison to invigilated closed book-pen and paper exams. An OBOW exam was conducted, wherein 127 students participated in it. The result obtained in this exam was compared with the invigilated exam taken by the same students previously. The percentage of marks obtained by the students were graded as "A" for 90-100% marks, "B", "C", "D" and "F" for 80-89%, 70-79%, 60-69% and 0-60% respectively. Some students were placed under ungraded category ("U" grade), as they faced some technical problems during the exam. Cheating was assessed based upon the time at which the student started taking the exam, the total time taken to complete it and the marks they scored. The results indicated that there was no notable difference in the results between the two types of exams. The number of students scoring "A" grade was almost the same in both the type of exams viz. 36% of all the students scored "A" grade in OBOW as against 38% of the students in the invigilated exam. However the number of students scoring lower grades i.e. "B" to "F" was more in OBOW exams then the invigilated exams. A few cheating cases were observed in the OBOW exam and also in the invigilated exam, which is unavoidable in any circumstance. About 10 students faced technical problems like loss of internet connection, slowing of the internet connection due to traffic congestion in the network, hanging of the user's computer system. It can be concluded that OBOW exams are better in accessing the student's ability to understand the subject and reproduce it.

Solar home system (SHS) as a single product faces many challenges in rural areas due to minimal traffic infrastructure, inadequate education or declining confidence in handling this technology. Therefore, SHSs give much of its potential away to improve all dimensions of sustainability. A new approach is described which is applied within the micro-energy supply system project (MESUS) where SHSs as a single product are shifted to a productservice system in combination with an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based on remote monitoring to overcome SHS limitation and increase system life span. MESUS project increases SHS sustainability by meeting the customer demands with respect to the whole product lifecycle. The new approach aims to integrate (PSS) products and services as equivalent solution elements in order to maintain innovative business models with (ICT) for providing added value for customers.

Edutainment is gaining a lot of importance in education today. The term edutainment encompasses a wide array of activities such as videos, movies, games and game shows, yet the one that is gaining most in popularity is online video games. While online games have been shown to have definite advantages, they tend to promote individual learning or at the most, competing with other students in cyberspace. However, they lack direct, human, physical student-student or student-teacher interaction. Game shows on the other hand present an opportunity for learning as well as a lot of interaction which in turn has many benefits. At Integrated Sciences Department, College of Health Sciences, game shows were introduced as an optional pre-examination review activity and the impact of the game show on the students' academic performance for 130 students was studied. Grades of tests administered before the game show were compared with grades of exams conducted after the game show for the same topics. Grades were also compared for students who attended the game show and those who did not attend. Game shows seem to have had a positive impact on improving the students' academic performance.

This Study explores the outcome of an investigation to evaluate the importance of autonomous learning (AL, hereafter) as a means of motivation. However, the aim of this study is to ascertain the perspective towards AL. The result of this study presents the effect of AL on students' performance. The procedure of this study is based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative: (1) sixty students are selected randomly, (2) pre and posttest projects are assigned to both groups, and (3) questionnaires are administered to both students and ESL teachers (25 males and 25 females) to collect accurate data, (4) an interview with students and teachers is conducted to find out their attitude towards AL. Analyses of participants' responses indicate that AL motivates students to learn English independently and increase their intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation to improve their English language skills. The findings of this study show that AL is the best remedy to empower students' language skills. Moreover, they show that teachers can fully rely on this learning approach that encourages language learners to monitor their progress, increase learners' motivation and ameliorate students' behavior in the classroom protocols.

Nahda University is the first privet university in Upper Egypt in Banisuif. As the direction for Nahda University is to be paperless, there is the E Learning Support System (ELS) for the undergraduate students of the six faculties of the university; which includes Oral and Dental Medicine, Pharmacy, Business Administration, Engineering, Mass Communication and information Technology. The ELS is considered the communication tool between students and the academic staff members and this is available anywhere and anytime across the internet in different ways to be suitable with variable situations and student abilities. ELS is considered Learning Management System LMS and e learning and it is not a substitute for the traditional learning but it is a blended learning. Generally, ELS is the bridge connecting between students and university. It is accessible through the website www.nubels.com.
