Abstract: The number of students who are enrolling in online courses is expanding exponentially. For this reason, many schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are moving towards an electronic means of teaching, termed e-learning. E-learning is a fundamental approach that has become popular within the last decade, and educational institutions are competing to broaden online programs to accommodate the increasing number of students. Moreover, recent research shows that Saudi Arabian students are motivated to use technology, regardless of a faculty’s inability to assimilate e-learning in teaching and learning processes. This paper endeavors to assess the critical role of e-learning as a motivator for enhancing teaching and learning in public schools and universities in the KSA, and also provides recommendations on how faculty can make e-learning more effective and motivating in teaching and learning processes.
