The implementation of CLT and new technologies in the learning process
leaves room for a higher learner control level (Piccoli, Ahmad, & Ives, 2001), as such
students cultivate high confidence in their abilities; be able to gain access to tools
through which they can repeat lectures and interact with other online teachers and
students; leaving room for discussions, participation, and student involvement aside
from the time limitations imposed by face-to-face educational experiences. In
addition, the learning and thinking habits can be monitored through analyzing
electronic transcripts, thereby the instructor obtains insight as to if the student learns
through re-reading, repetition, or discussion which can influence the language skills
of the learners on the long run (2001). Consequently, another study analyzes the
different aspects of learning which reinforced the idea of distance learning (Zhou and
Xu, 2015) by illustrating that virtual classrooms can be used as an effective mode of
delivery that serve as a strong component of social learning which helps develop a
strong relationship between group members and their instructor through interaction
by visual and oral communication and raise their awareness of responsibility and
commitment in addition to creating a dynamic environment in the classroom and
providing a better learning and teaching experience for both; instructors and learners.
By the same token, the implementation of network education was proposed as a
catalyst which improves the effectives of teaching and helps instructors achieve their
teaching objectives with the learners to ensure a satisfying quality of teaching for all
levels of students (Zhou et al., 2015). In like manner, other different tools, objects
and management systems of online learning can be used as a powerful tool to create
an excellent platform for learners’ investment as well as ownership in the process of
learning (Courtney & Wilhoite-Mathews, 2015). Not only that, but virtual classrooms
can also be very helpful in terms of sharing knowledge despite the difference in time
