Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop a customized virtual learning platform specifically designed for distance education with the goal of improving the pedagogical abilities of science instructors at Hail University. The research used a descriptive analytical method, including expert assessments of the requirements for remote education and the necessary teaching abilities. A survey was conducted among 120 science teachers in Hail, and it was found that there is a significant need and value for training in several aspects of innovative teaching. The results emphasized substantial requirements in five crucial domains: innovative instruction as well as competencies associated with fluency, adaptability, and ingenuity. The virtual learning environment created for Hail Science instructors had a comprehensive evaluation by training program professionals using a unique assessment method. This evaluation ensured that the design of the environment included both technological and pedagogical criteria.
