ABSTRACT 

E-learning is defined as learning with the aid of information and communication technologies. These tools, named Technology enhanced learning, are used to enhance distance learning. e-Learning helps in situations of quarantine and lockdown. A wide set of Learning Management Systems (LMS) which are mainly internet based, have been developed and used to support the e-learning process. This study aimed to assess the current situation of establishing an eLearning Program in the Faculties of Medicine and nursing sciences at the university of Khartoum.  A cross-sectional study was carried out among 95 participants; 75 (78.9%) were students, and 25 (21.1%) were faculty members and administrators. Their skills and competencies were assessed through online google –form Questionnaire.  The result revealed that 100% of the study participants had owned e-Learning devices. The most common type is the mobile. The majority (93.7 %) have consistent internet coverage, while 6.3% mentioned the problem of Internet coverage and cost. All participants owned smart devices; 69,6% were engaged in discussion, almost 22% in assignments, and 85% achieved their objectives. Nearly 6.3% needed internet coverage. After completing our project, the key findings were submitted to the University training center, where it was successfully adopted into the university teacher’s training policy.
