The results of this study also showed a number of challenges that faced education systems during the Corona pandemic. The most important of which is the poor preparation of teachers and students in the skills needed to use e-learning programs, use of modern technology, and enhance their abilities to deal with programs and platforms prepared for education and electronic evaluation, and the lack of electronic means and devices is one of the most important challenges. The results of this study revealed psychological difficulties (stress, anxiety, depression and many fears among the learners) that were left by distance education during the Corona pandemic, and the psychological impact of learners contributed to a decrease in their motivation towards learning.
