Abstract

This study aims to summarize the capabilities available in learning techniques that can be used in managing the educational process in all academic disciplines during the Corona pandemic (Covid 19). In this research, the blackboard system and the Moodle system were chosen to highlight the capabilities available in it through three axes: Teaching strategies Used in the administration and delivery of the course, and the evaluation methods that are used to evaluate the performance of students in the course, and the last axis is to ensure the quality of the educational process by following up the educational process from the concerned administration.

The study relied on the exploratory descriptive approach to identify the types of teaching strategies used and classify them according to their support for the majors, as well as the methods of evaluation of students ’performance in the course according to the scientific specializations by examining many types of research to sort and classify teaching strategies and evaluation methods for scientific specialties according to the opinions of the studies that have been relied upon.

The study revealed that there are about 28 teaching styles that can be used in the four main practical disciplines, which are arts and humanities, education in the medical field, science and engineering, and social sciences. The study also showed the mechanism of implementing these methods through the tools available on the Blackboard Learning Management System and the Moodle Learning Management System.
