Abstract

The effectiveness of some types of collaborative training through the web and the introduction of digital awareness aids in developing the skills of designing and producing electronic learning materials for learners with disabilities and strategic thinking among the students of the special education department
The current research aimed to identify the effectiveness and impact of some of the methods of e-training through the web in the implementation of various educational tasks. It also aimed to detect the effectiveness of e-training patterns on the web, and some of the approaches to awareness of modern digital aids for people with special needs. For those with special needs; in terms of the skills associated with the design and production of the electronic and digital educational materials needed for that category, and the strategic thinking of the members of the current research sample, namely the students of the special education department. The sample of the study consisted of sixty-three (63) students from the special education department in the College of Education - TaibahUniversity in Madinah Al Munawwarah andstudents  enrolled in the study of the applications of educational techniques in special education in the second semester of the academic year 1437H -1438H. the sample has been divided into six experimental groups, depending on the levels of the two independent variables. The first tool was note card performance of trained teachers in the department of special education for the skill of designing and producing electronic learning materials for learner with disabilities. The second tool was to test the strategic thinking of the research, and the tools were calculated for their sincerity and stability. In relation to the experimental treatment of the current research, an electronic training site for the current research was designed and produced, as well as the use of electronic and social communication tools available through the web, as well as digital information sources in the implementation of the experimental treatment of the current research; Co-operative training across the web and the second independent variable: outreach approaches to assistive digital technologies.
After the preparation and control of the research tools and the experimental treatment material, the research tools were applied to the sample members in a tribal application, then the experimental treatment material was introduced and started, the collaborative web training started, followed by the application and the remote measurement. Were processed statistically using SPSS, extracting the results of the research, testing the validity of hypotheses, and then interpreting and discussing the results in the end.
The following are the main findings of the current research:
* There were statistically significant differences at (0.05) in favor of the e-training method in developing the skills of design and production of electronic learning materials among the sample members.
* There are no statistically significant differences in favor of the type of awareness of the technological aids used in developing the skills of designing and producing electronic learning materials in the sample of the research sample.
* There are statistically significant differences at (0.05) due to the interaction between the type of training and the educational approaches used to develop the skills of designing and producing electronic learning materials among the research sample members.
* There were statistically significant differences at (0.05) in favor of the e-training method used in developing the strategic thinking among the research sample members.
* There are no statistically significant differences in favor of the approaches used in the development of strategic thinking among the members of the research sample.
* There are statistically significant differences at (0.05); due to the interaction between the training pattern and the awareness input used in the development of strategic thinking among the research sample members.
The study also concluded with a set of recommendations, research and studies proposed, which deals with more research and experimentation of collaborative electronic training and the use of modern technological aids in the field of education and training of the disabled and people with special needs in the stages of the university and pre-university education.
