Abstract

Since 1960s, the use of technology in the educational field has been widespread. The internet, according to Becker (2001), has been playing a major role in enhancing educational technology, which has provided diverse opportunities to the education world. One of the opportunities is to teach and learn via online learning. This method has become popular since it encourages students to submit their ideas and opinions freely through discussions which is considered a powerful tool for developing pedagogical skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and reflection.
