Summary/Abstract: The current study aimed to identify the obstacles of teaching courses during distance learning in light of e-learning quality standards. A survey consisting of 21 items was gathered from 146 faculty staff members during the first semester of the academic year (2021–2022). To achieve the objectives of this study, a questionnaire was used after verifying its psychometric properties. The results of the study revealed a moderate level of obstacles to teaching courses in distance education. Moreover, the study findings showed that the most prominent obstacles that face teaching distance courses are that online-tests are not fair in evaluating students, and the absence of direct communication with students affects negatively their understanding of the educational material. The research recommends that distance teaching should be addressed by providing adequate training for faculty members and using computer software such as presentations and interactive applications to eliminate boredom and increase students' interaction.
