The reality of distance learning facing educational crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic among Jordanian university students with disabilities

The current study aimed at identifying the reality of distance learning facing the educational crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic among university students with disabilities in Jordanian universities. To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher designed a questionnaire of four domains: distance learning services provided to students with disabilities; technical challenges bounding the application of the distance learning process on students; challenges facing faculty member; and appropriate solutions for the success of the effectiveness of distance education. The study tool, the questionnaire, was distributed to a sample of 440 students with disabilities (motor, auditory, and visual) in three Jordanian universities. The results indicated that the reality of distance learning facing the educational crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic among Jordanian universities' students with disabilities was relatively average. Further, they concluded that there was a realisation of distance learning among university students with disabilities, which does not meet the desired degree of efficacy and influence.
