The results showed the nature of e-learning tools, the stages of their development, and how they were employed in synchronous and asynchronous distance education to confront the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results also showed that the degree of students' use of these tools was very high. Besides, the results revealed that the degree of the sample's estimation of the effectiveness of integrating e-learning tools was very high on all domains, as well as on the total degree. The study revealed a statistically significant and positive relationship between students' estimation of the effectiveness of this integration, the degree of using educational videos, the degree attending virtual classes and their recordings, as well as the total degree of using these tools.
