1. INTRODUCTION 
The vast majority of the universities around the world consider CAD_CAM course as 
essential demand for mechanical, manufacturing and industrial engineering student at undergraduate 
level since Manufacturing is a wealth generating activity for a nation. CAD/CAM are needed for the 
economic growth of a nation. CAD-CAM process is needed to produce very complicated shapes in a 
very short time and high quality while it achieves high productivity in manufacturing (Than et al 
2006; Fusaomi et al. 2013).

Elearning is the use of technology to extend, enhance, and enrich the learning and 
competence-building experience through enhanced collaboration and access to Eknowledge 
resources. Elearning can be the instrument for enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship skills of 
learners, enhancing their employability. 
The role of Elearning in educational development has been world-wide recognized as a 
priority in order to reinforce academic development, to widen access, to attain universal scope and to 
extend knowledge, as well as to facilitate education throughout life (Virginio et al. 2004; Council of 
Ministers of Education, Canada1.998; Kirsh.2002). 
The Elearning deanship at KKU has four services goals associated with its mission. It is to 
provide a level of services that enables: 1) all users to engage in successful learning practice,2) KKU 
to embed Elearning in all learning processes and engage users, 3) KKU staff to create and update 
courses that use Elearning, and 4) KKU staff to use Elearning to assure quality in learning. 
(Elearning Deanship at KKU). 
The first aim of this paper is utilizing the well-established E-learning infrastructure for 
introducing enhanced online CAD-CAM course in a high level of Bloom’s Taxonomy(Adam 2006; 
Ferris 2005) for improving the quality and effectiveness of education for the engineering students. 
The second one is facilitating the access of all learning sources for the students anywhere and 
anytime while they are getting online support in all the access time. 
The design and structure of the online CAD-CAM course has been developed on the 
following bases:1) Instructor of the course to teach the students how the information of part 
geometry, tool path, cutting tool, cutting plan, manufacturing knowledge should be integrated using 
the Elearning facilities. 2) The students should not only appreciate the existing CAD/CAM systems 
but they should also utilize the provided Elearning tools to come up with alternative solutions for 
developing more CAD/CAM systems. 
2. E-LEARNING INFRASTRUCTURE AT KING KHALID UNIVERSITY (KKU) 
The E-Learning Deanship has designed and deployed a world-class technology platform to 
support E-Learning and EKnowledge processes at KKU. Students, faculty, and administrators 
achieve authorized/authenticated access through the center portal to a robust, fully integrated 
Learning Management System (LMS) and supporting applications and knowledge resources. This 
LMS extracts data from the Student Information Systems (SIS), and in the future the KKU library, 
and Blackboard’s e-Portfolio. 
It is also supported by the Classroom Capture Application, Authoring Tools, e-Assessments, 
Virtual Classroom Tools, and a highly capable Learning Object Repository (LOR) that can share 
learning objects drawn from a variety of international open learning resources and content providers. 
Table 1 summarize the available electronic systems and tools in KKU (Elearning Deanship at KKU). 
2.1 The Learning Management System 
The LMS is used to offer the courses and facilitate administering the educational process with 
the different features that make the process and the experience simple and rich. Blackboard was 
chosen for its high efficiency and simplified user experience in addition to proven success with a 
huge user base of tens of millions. The Learning Management System in KKU is simply a website 
that is accessible anytime and from anywhere in the world. The courses offered to the students in 
three levels; a-Supportive level, b-Blended level and c-Full E-learning level.

3. CAD-CAM CURRICULUM 
Cad Cam Curriculum at faculty of engineering, Mechanical engineering department must 
follow general guidelines set by the Accreditation Committee within the King Khalid University 
(KKU) and the Ministry of Higher Education. These guidelines include the number of credit hours 
needed to obtain the program, three credit hours has been allocated to achieve the CAD CAM 
program. A specialized committee from mechanical engineering department was given the task of 
developing CAD CAM curriculum similar to regional and international universities (Curriculum 
plan, Ain Shams University, Egypt.2008; Curriculum plan, 10th of Ramadan university, Egypt.2009; 
Curriculum plan, California state university.2009) based on the following factors: 
3.1 E-Learning capabilities 
One of the concrete future strategic objectives of education and training systems in the EU is 
improving the quality and effectiveness of education and training systems through applying the 
E-Learning tools (Sahin et al.2007; Yadong et al 2007). The curriculum has adapted the KKU

E-Learning tool and strategies (previous section|) which improving education and training for 
instructor and students, making the best use of resources, and making learning more attractive. 
403 
3.2 Industrial needs 
 
As regional industry developed through automated production and computerized 
manufacturing, requirements for multi-disciplinary engineers with in-depth knowledge of mechanics, 
and computers and programming skills increased. The demand for such system engineers was fast 
developing. 
3.3 Educational motivation 
As interaction among different engineering disciplines increased, students were encouraged 
to study system functionality. This developed the need for a curriculum that offers integrated 
engineering courses. 
3.4 Mechanical engineering development 
As technology advanced, computers and automated manufacturing started to play bigger roles 
in mechanical systems and therefore more and more mechanical engineers started to take computer 
and automated courses in order to strengthen their grasp on mechanical system technology. 
The approach for developing the appropriate CAD CAM curriculum was based on the 
following key concepts: 
• Know your machine (from a programmer’s viewpoint) 
• Understand the engineering drawing of a part to be machined. 
• Prepare to write programs 
• Understand the motion types 
• Know the compensation types 
• Format your programs in a safe, convenient, and efficient manner 
• Know the special features of programming 
• Recognize your machine (from an operator’s viewpoint) 
• Understand the three modes of operation 
• Know the procedures related to operation 
4. E-COURSE STRUCTURE AND DESIGN 
The course has been established on the basis of quality matter rubric (QM Rubric 2013).The 
author has achieved all the quality training courses and now is a peer reviewer of the QM programs. 
The course is delivered fully online and prepared from the students’ perspective; the latest 
technologies have been used to structure and design the learning materials in the course. Course

components; Learning Objectives, Learning material, Learning activities, Assessment, External 
resources are worked together to ensure that students have achieved the desired learning outcomes. 
The course has been created and delivered to the students based on the following criteria: 
4.1 The overall design of the course is made clear to the student at the beginning of the course 
The course introduction sets the tone for the course, lets students know what to expect, and 
provides guidance to ensure they get off to a good start. Instructions make clear how to get started 
and where to find various course components. 
An initial Announcement has been used to direct the student to the Start Here menu item. The 
directions provided in the Start Here page as shown in Figure 1 are explaining in detail all the major 
components of the course, what they are for, how to navigate to them, and guiding the student 
through the course. 
The Calendar and Start Here page syllabus as shown in Figure 2 do a very good job of 
introducing the student to the purpose and structure of the course, including course schedule, modes 
of communication, types of learning activities, and how learning will be assessed. 
Course and institutional policies with which the student is expected to comply are clearly 
stated, and link to current policies is provided. The syllabus section Course Policy does a good job of 
explaining the requirements for compliance on assignments, attendance, and discussions. 
The first paragraph in the Start Here page clearly states pre-requisite courses and required 
404 
computer skills as it can be seen from Figure 1. 
The syllabus Instructor Contact Information section does a great job of introducing the 
instructor and providing necessary contact information. The photo of the instructor which has been 
provided in the first page of the syllabus helps forge a human connection. 
Students are asked to introduce themselves in the first virtual class of the course under 
Week 1 mission.

Fig 2: Syllabus contents 
4.2 The learning objectives establish a foundation upon which the rest of the course is based 
Course learning objectives is one of 
the most important elements which are clearly stated and 
explained under START HERE Syllabus section 
and describe what students are to gain from the course materials. The course learning objectives 
aligned with the module learning objectives and that was very helpful to achieve the desired 
outcomes of the course. Glossary of learning objectives terms has be

4.2.1 The course learning objectives describe outcomes that are measurable 
406 
 
Syllabus section Learning Objectives Figure 3 does a good job of listing all the course 
outcomes and they are measurable. Student performance is described in each outcome in specific, 
observable terms such as identify, distinguish, measure, and illustrate. A glossary of terms has been 
included as there are many terms used in the outcomes that may not be known to the student at the 
beginning of the course. 
At the completion of this course, the student should be able to: 
1. Identify how to go through every single element of the course and where to find various 
components of the course. 
2. Measure how well you understand the history and applications of CNC machine tools. 
3. Distinguish the major elements of a CNC machine tool and obtain a working knowledge of 
how a CNC machine tool operates. 
4. Identify an engineering drawing of a simple part with linear features such as slots and linear 
edges, steps and drill holes. 
5. Illustrate how to generate a CNC program that will successfully machine the designed part. 
6. Recognize an engineering drawing of a complex part; and how you will be able to correctly 
program the part. 
7. Recognize how to write CNC program. 
8. Plan how to execute a CNC program. 
9. Differentiate among the various types of CNC machines. 
4.2.2 The module learning objectives describe outcomes that are measurable and consistent 
with the course-level objectives 
The Weekly Missions (Figure 4-a) contain Learning Objectives (Figure 4-b) that describe the 
specific competencies, skills, knowledge that students should be able to master and demonstrate. The 
learning objectives make clear to students learning expectations and outcomes on a weekly basis and 
are stated prominently at the beginning of each weekly mission. Instructions to students on how to 
meet the learning objectives stated clearly in every weekly module. 
4.2.3 The learning objectives are appropriately designed for the level of the course in a higher 
scale of Bloom’s Taxonomy 
The learning objectives are appropriately designed for the level of the course, which is a 400- 
level course and according to Bloom's taxonomy should require activities that address content 
mastery, critical thinking skills, and core learning skills. This would include proficiency in written 
communication (covered via multiple discussions and groups) as well as distinguish between fact 
and opinion and identifying bias and stereotypes, which are covered through numerous readings, 
discussions, and quizzes. 
4.3 Assessment strategies are designed to evaluate student progress 
Assessment is implemented in a manner that not only allows the instructor a broad 
perspective on the students’ mastery of the content, but also allows students to measure their own 
learning throughout the course. 
4.3.1 The types of assessments selected measure the stated learning objectives and are 
consistent with course activities and resources. 
By reference to stated learning objectives; Assessment designed to measure the effectiveness 
of student learning; and to be integral to the learning process. There are several quizzes writing 
assignments that measure the stated learning goals. All are based on the learning materials provided.

407 
 
These assessments (ways of confirming student mastery) are consistent with the course and 
module objectives of the course. It would be helpful to map each quiz and writing assignment to the 
appropriate course outcome, either in the syllabus or in the actual assignment.

4.3.2 The course grading policy is stated clearly 
409 
 
Syllabus section Grades Distribution clearly states the course grading policy. It does a good 
job of listing each gradable activity and associated points, as well as the grade awarding based on 
accumulated points. Also Syllabus section Course Policy clearly states that late work is not accepted. 
Specific and descriptive criteria are provided for the evaluation of students’ work and participation 
and are tied to the course grading policy. 
4.4 Instructional materials are sufficiently comprehensive to achieve stated course objectives 
and learning outcomes. 
The instructional materials form the core of the course. It consist of chapters from the 
required textbook, Virtual classes as shown in Figure 5, recorded lectures, PowerPoint and Word 
documents, virtual labs as it can be seen from Figure 6 a  b and links to external resources. This is 
a rich set of instructional materials that align with the course and module objectives. The purpose of 
instructional materials and how the materials are to be used for learning activities are clearly 
explained in what to do as shown in Figure 7. The course materials are robust and create a rich 
learning environment for students. The course presents meaningful instructional materials from a 
variety of sources, including the textbooks, websites, recorded lectures, and other documents. 
Instructional materials are varied, and different perspectives are presented by a large number of 
external sources. All the instructional materials that has been used in the course are current.

Fig 7: Week-2 table of contents and What To Do instructions 
4.5 Forms of interaction incorporated in the course motivate students and promote learning. 
Learning activities are varied in order to provide reinforcement and mastery in multiple ways 
and to accommodate multiple learning styles. Activities include reading or watching recordings from 
multiple sources, class discussions, writing assignments, and quizzes. 
The course discussion provide many opportunities for student-student and student-instructor 
interactions. Additional student-instructor interaction takes place though feedback from graded 
assignments. In particular, the virtual classroom provides real-time instructor-student and student-student 
feedback. 
The requirements for student interaction are clearly explained. The syllabus explains clearly 
that students who miss 25% of the course will be prevented from taking the final exam. 
4.6 Course navigation and technology support student engagement and ensure access to course 
components 
The technology enabling the various course components facilitates the student’s learning 
experience and is easy to use, rather than impeding the student’s progress. 
The use of discussion boards, groups, virtual classroom, and recorded lectures were good 
ways to support the course learning objectives. All the course tools and media support student 
engagement and guide the student to become an active learner. 
4.6.1 Navigation throughout the online components of the course is logical, consistent, and 
efficient 
The process of controlling the movement of the student from one place to another in the 
course is logical, consistent, and efficient. From the initial Start Here announcement, to the Start 
Here page, to the syllabus, the student is easily guided, encouraged, and reminded on where to click. 
The weekly missions are all organized in the same format, providing consistency.

4.6.2 Students can readily access the technologies required in the course 
    	 
  
412 
 
All required technologies are easily obtainable, either through download, purchase at the 
bookstore, or another means. There are several hyperlinks within the course, so the Internet is a 
technology being utilized. Since the student would not even be in the course without having access to 
a browser, this condition is satisfied. The students are told at the beginning what software skills are 
required. The course uses the latest version 9.1 of Blackboard. 
4.7 Student’s evaluation of the course 
A survey has been conducted to measure the students satisfaction of the course elements and 
the way the instructor introducing the course. The survey analysis showed that the students are very 
satisfied with course as shown in figure 8. The survey questions was as follow: 
Q1- For the course you are studying ... Does it include all of the information that can help you 
navigate and interact with it without any explanations from faculty member? 
Q2- Electronic communication is available between student and Instructor and student and his 
colleagues. Have you found your course supports this and the communication has already 
happened? 
Q3- Electronic content is characterized by the use of multimedia, coordination, arrangement, the 
ease of use and must facilitate student understanding of scientific material, does your course 
contents have played the same role? 
Q4- The purpose of the learning materials is to overcome and facilitate new information and to 
make it easy to understand. Does your course contain this kind of activities? 
Q5- E-Learning evaluation is characterized by diversity (tests, quizzes, discussions and activities), 
whether evaluation method in your course includes these benefits? 
Q6- E-Learning makes student the center of educational process so student changes from idle 
recipient to an interactive learner. Do you find your teaching method support this procedure? 
Q7- If ignored some technical problems that may occur to the learning management system 
sometimes, do you find E-Learning more useful and interesting than traditional learning?

5. BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS OF E-LEARNING 
413 
 
Among the several benefits of applying full E-Learning CAD-CAM course, it can be stated 
the following: 
A. Benefits for instructor 
• E-Learning allowed the instructor to record his lecture during class and provides the students 
with video lecture to be available along with class notes so students can access it anytime. 
• The integrated test tool (E-assessment) allows the instructors to randomize exam questions 
and make a unique exam for each group of student. This reduces the chance of students 
cheating of each other. 
• E-assessment saves the instructor from having to manually grade exams and deal with 
students' grade complaints. 
• E-assessment efficiently and accurately grade tests, preventing the instructor from 
miscalculating a grade. 
• E-assessment allows the instructor to provide students with a wide range of questions from all 
the course topics and not only focuses in specific subjects. 
• Making a bank of test questions are available and allows the instructor to make and run 
various exams simultaneously. 
• E-Learning library are available for instructor and students which provide them with up to 
date knowledge. 
• Communications among students themselves and instructor have been enhanced through the 
available interaction tools (discussion board, groups, blogs and virtual classes) and are 
available 24/7. 
B. Benefits for students 
• Learning materials are available 24/7 which makes scheduling easy and allows a greater 
number of students to attend classes. 
• Students can have the lecture anywhere anytime. Student can have the lecture while he is 
having a cup of tea. 
• The technologies used in E-Learning provide students with powerful and interesting 
electronic tools which they may never see in a traditional classroom. 
• E-Learning Enhances computer and Internet skills since you give the students indirect 
training courses in all applications used in E-Learning classes 
• E-Learning accommodates student’s preferences and needs - it's student-centered. 
• Flexibility of learning which allows student to skip over material he already know and focus 
on topics he would like to learn. 
• Interaction among the students and instructor are available 24/7 so student can get answer for 
any question very easy. 
• The number of the students passed has been increased comparing with face to face classes. 
• Wide range of resource materials is available in different format. 
• E-Learning is self-paced and gives students a chance to speed up or slow down as necessary.

ISSN 0976 – 6359(Online), Volume 5, Issue 9, September (2014), pp. 400-416 © IAEME 
414 
 
• For students who have trouble learning in traditional learning environments, like shyness to 
ask any question in front of his colleagues. E-Learning is ideal. It is offering a solution for 
anyone. 
• Student benefit from taking E-assessments because they get to see their results as soon as 
they submit their test. 
• E-Learning provide students with various types of learning activities (discussion board, 
group, quizzes and tests) which allow students to measure how well they understand the 
learning materials. 
• E-Learning increased the number of students passed compared with traditional learning. 
• Student costs are frequently less (parking, fuel, vehicle maintenance, residence, food) 
Drawbacks of E-Learning 
• One disadvantage of E-Learning is that learners need to have access to a computer as well as 
the Internet. They also need to have computer skills with programs such as word processing, 
Internet browsers, and e-mail. Without these skills and software it is not possible for 
the learner to succeed in E-Learning. 
• E-Learners need to be very comfortable using a computer. Slow Internet connections or older 
computers may make accessing course materials difficult. This may cause the learners to get 
frustrated and give up. 
• Another disadvantage of e-learning is managing computer files, software comfortability and 
learning new software, including E-Learning. For learners with beginner-level computer 
skills it can sometimes seem complex to keep their computer files organized. The lesson 
points you to download a file which the learner does and later cannot find the file. The file is 
downloaded to the folder the computer automatically opens to rather than a folder chosen by 
the learner. This file may be lost or misplaced to the learner without good computer 
organizational skills. 
• E-Learning also requires time to complete especially those with assignments and interactive 
collaborations. This means that students have to be highly motivated and responsible because 
all the work they do is on their own. Learners with low motivation may not complete 
modules. 
• Another disadvantage of e-learning is that students may feel isolated and unsupported while 
learning. Instructions are not always available to help the learner so learners need to have 
discipline to work independently without assistance. E-Learners may also become bored with 
no interaction. 
6. CONCLUSION 
E-Learning has been employed to design and implement a full E-Learning course at faculty 
of engineering in King Khalid University. Course components are worked together to ensure that 
students will be able to achieve the desired learning outcomes which clearly stated and explained to 
students. 
Interaction between the instructor and students, among students, and between students and 
course materials has been achieved and evaluation of students has been assessed and measured. 
Full E-Learning is a powerful tool, virtual classes is one of the most important tools of full 
E-Learning to communicate with students, some features should be developed, availability of hand 
writing and free hand sketch make it more interactive.

Advantages of applying Full E-Learning and measures of success for students and faculty 
have been stated and presented the major benefits of e-learning in flexibility and develop knowledge 
of both the faculty and student in various areas. 
Hence, it can be concluded that applying the full E-Learning based on QM standards will be 
very helpful to enhance the teaching processes for both the instructor and students. And there are 
many significant evidences of success for student and instructor who involved in this course. Few of 
them can be concluded in the following: 
• The number of the students passed increased compared with face to face classes. 
• The faculty of engineering won the university cup of the E-Learning. 
• The quality of education has been improved. 
• The number of the students enrolled E-Learning classes increased. 
• Students are very impressed and interested in E-Learning as it can be seen in the survey

The course discussion provide many opportunities for student-student and student-instructor interactions. Additional student-instructor interaction takes place though feedback from graded assignments. In particular, the virtual classroom provides real-time instructor-student and student-student feedback. The requirements for student interaction are clearly explained. The syllabus explains clearly that students who miss 25% of the course will be prevented from taking the final exam. 4.6 Course navigation and technology support student engagement and ensure access to course components The technology enabling the various course components facilitates the student’s learning experience and is easy to use, rather than impeding the student’s progress. The use of discussion boards, groups, virtual classroom, and recorded lectures were good ways to support the course learning objectives. All the course tools and media support student engagement and guide the student to become an active learner. 4.6.1 Navigation throughout the online components of the course is logical, consistent, and efficient The process of controlling the movement of the student from one place to another in the course is logical, consistent, and efficient. From the initial Start Here announcement, to the Start Here page, to the syllabus, the student is easily guided, encouraged, and reminded on where to click. The weekly missions are all organized in the same format, providing consistency.

There are several hyperlinks within the course, so the Internet is a technology being utilized. Since the student would not even be in the course without having access to a browser, this condition is satisfied. The students are told at the beginning what software skills are required. The course uses the latest version 9.1 of Blackboard. 4.7 Student’s evaluation of the course A survey has been conducted to measure the students satisfaction of the course elements and the way the instructor introducing the course. The survey analysis showed that the students are very satisfied with course as shown in figure 8. The survey questions was as follow: Q1- For the course you are studying ... Does it include all of the information that can help you navigate and interact with it without any explanations from faculty member? Q2- Electronic communication is available between student and Instructor and student and his colleagues. Have you found your course supports this and the communication has already happened? Q3- Electronic content is characterized by the use of multimedia, coordination, arrangement, the ease of use and must facilitate student understanding of scientific material, does your course contents have played the same role? Q4- The purpose of the learning materials is to overcome and facilitate new information and to make it easy to understand. Does your course contain this kind of activities? Q5- E-Learning evaluation is characterized by diversity (tests, quizzes, discussions and activities), whether evaluation method in your course includes these benefits? Q6- E-Learning makes student the center of educational process so student changes from idle recipient to an interactive learner. Do you find your teaching method support this procedure? Q7- If ignored some technical problems that may occur to the learning management system sometimes, do you find E-Learning more useful and interesting than traditional learning?

BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS OF E-LEARNING 413 Among the several benefits of applying full E-Learning CAD-CAM course, it can be stated the following: A. Benefits for instructor • E-Learning allowed the instructor to record his lecture during class and provides the students with video lecture to be available along with class notes so students can access it anytime. • The integrated test tool (E-assessment) allows the instructors to randomize exam questions and make a unique exam for each group of student. This reduces the chance of students cheating of each other. • E-assessment saves the instructor from having to manually grade exams and deal with students' grade complaints. • E-assessment efficiently and accurately grade tests, preventing the instructor from miscalculating a grade. • E-assessment allows the instructor to provide students with a wide range of questions from all the course topics and not only focuses in specific subjects. • Making a bank of test questions are available and allows the instructor to make and run various exams simultaneously. • E-Learning library are available for instructor and students which provide them with up to date knowledge. • Communications among students themselves and instructor have been enhanced through the available interaction tools (discussion board, groups, blogs and virtual classes) and are available 24/7. B. Benefits for students • Learning materials are available 24/7 which makes scheduling easy and allows a greater number of students to attend classes. • Students can have the lecture anywhere anytime. Student can have the lecture while he is having a cup of tea. • The technologies used in E-Learning provide students with powerful and interesting electronic tools which they may never see in a traditional classroom. • E-Learning Enhances computer and Internet skills since you give the students indirect training courses in all applications used in E-Learning classes • E-Learning accommodates student’s preferences and needs - it's student-centered. • Flexibility of learning which allows student to skip over material he already know and focus on topics he would like to learn. • Interaction among the students and instructor are available 24/7 so student can get answer for any question very easy. • The number of the students passed has been increased comparing with face to face classes. • Wide range of resource materials is available in different format. • E-Learning is self-paced and gives students a chance to speed up or slow down as necessary.

E-Learning is ideal. It is offering a solution for anyone. • Student benefit from taking E-assessments because they get to see their results as soon as they submit their test. • E-Learning provide students with various types of learning activities (discussion board, group, quizzes and tests) which allow students to measure how well they understand the learning materials. • E-Learning increased the number of students passed compared with traditional learning. • Student costs are frequently less (parking, fuel, vehicle maintenance, residence, food) Drawbacks of E-Learning • One disadvantage of E-Learning is that learners need to have access to a computer as well as the Internet. They also need to have computer skills with programs such as word processing, Internet browsers, and e-mail. Without these skills and software it is not possible for the learner to succeed in E-Learning. • E-Learners need to be very comfortable using a computer. Slow Internet connections or older computers may make accessing course materials difficult. This may cause the learners to get frustrated and give up. • Another disadvantage of e-learning is managing computer files, software comfortability and learning new software, including E-Learning. For learners with beginner-level computer skills it can sometimes seem complex to keep their computer files organized. The lesson points you to download a file which the learner does and later cannot find the file. The file is downloaded to the folder the computer automatically opens to rather than a folder chosen by the learner. This file may be lost or misplaced to the learner without good computer organizational skills. • E-Learning also requires time to complete especially those with assignments and interactive collaborations. This means that students have to be highly motivated and responsible because all the work they do is on their own. Learners with low motivation may not complete modules. • Another disadvantage of e-learning is that students may feel isolated and unsupported while learning. Instructions are not always available to help the learner so learners need to have discipline to work independently without assistance. E-Learners may also become bored with no interaction. 6. CONCLUSION E-Learning has been employed to design and implement a full E-Learning course at faculty of engineering in King Khalid University. Course components are worked together to ensure that students will be able to achieve the desired learning outcomes which clearly stated and explained to students. Interaction between the instructor and students, among students, and between students and course materials has been achieved and evaluation of students has been assessed and measured. Full E-Learning is a powerful tool, virtual classes is one of the most important tools of full E-Learning to communicate with students, some features should be developed, availability of hand writing and free hand sketch make it more interactive.
