These are programs that automatize the management of learning and teaching activities with regard to courses, interaction, and exercises. It is considered one of the most important e-learning solutions at universities, These include:
 

1. Course Management System (CMS)
2. Learning Content Management System (LCMS)
3. Learning management systems (LMS)

4. E-learning Platform

5. Portal of Education

To be successful, e-learning needs to be based on the following equipment:
 

1. Technological infrastructure, servers, high-capacity devices, special software such as e-learning management systems (LMS, LCMS, and CMS), and high- speed internet.
    
2. Personnel: technicians to run the system, design and produce materials, and other special training courses to instructors and students.

Electronic learning is one of the methods of distance learning. It can be defined as "a method of learning by using communications techniques and modern technology, such as computer and its networks, multi- media and internet in order to transmit information to learners in sight and sound from any place at a lower cost but of high quality in a way that enables the management of teaching operation to have it under control and to measure and evaluate the learners' performance
