After conducting the comparison mechanisms among the two types of education, the
study reached several results, the most important of which are: Integrated learning
is the partial application of e-learning, and Moocs is its general application, and that
the theoretical reference is available for both types, with different application limits,
and that the pattern of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has a great deal of
ease of registration mechanisms, unlike the pattern of Blended Learning, and that
the pattern of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has more flexibility in terms
