exploded in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
However, significant barriers remain in the region’s e-learning
development: lack of research on outcomes and effectiveness,
paucity of Arabic language learning objects, monopolies and high
cost of telecommunications, cultural taboos, accreditation,
censorship, and teacher training.

This unique volume is the first comprehensive effort to describe
the history, development, and current state of e-learning in each
of the 20 MENA countries from Algeria to Yemen. Each entry is
expertly written by a specialist who is acutely familiar with the
state of e-learning in their respective country, and concludes
with a bibliography of key reports, peer-reviewed books and
articles, and web resources.
