Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 69 - 72, 30.06.2025

Abstract

Higher Education in the Arab World: E-Learning and Distance Education, edited by Adnan Badran, Elias Baydoun, Sandra Hillman, and Joelle Mesmar, addresses the expanding role of digital education in a region with unique socio-economic and technological challenges. Published by Springer, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the integration of e-learning and distance education within the Arab higher education landscape. This topic has gained increasing relevance due to both the ongoing digital transformation and the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, which amplified the need for adaptable and resilient educational systems. This work serves as a critical resource for understanding the trajectories of e-learning in the Arab world, offering a mixture of theoretical insights, policy analysis, and practical case studies that capture the multifaceted nature of this transformation.
