Abstract

The digitalization era is emerging in higher education today. Online technologies
are influencing the strategies for learning. Incorporating online technologies like E-
learning into health science education is considered as inevitable. For these reasons,
health science education is focusing on the integration of E-learning into their
curriculum. This study was conducted among undergraduate Physical Therapy students,
University college Al Ardah, Jazan university KSA. The first aim of this study is to find
the effectiveness of E-learning on teaching and learning strategies in Physical Therapy
students. Second, the aim is to examine the student’s satisfaction and perception
regarding E-learning. During the study, the JUMP (Jazan University Multi Platforms)
system was adopted, and a paperless learning experience has been created. The results
of the analysis indicate that E-learning has many benefits in Physical Therapy teaching
and learning. Student’s satisfaction and perception regarding the use of E-learning were
positive. Perceived barriers to the use of E-learning were internet connectivity
problems, poor social interaction, and communication.
