As well as to identify the possibility of predicting students' trend towards using the e-learning platform based on their knowledge of using it, their study status (campus/ distance learning), their gender, and their first language. The questionnaires were prepared to measure two main structures, students' knowledge of using the e-learning platform and their attitude towards it. The study sample included students attending a master's and doctoral as part of the British university course process. The sample consisted of 48 students (total students in this course), 29 students on campus (60%), and 19 students in distance learning (40%). The results revealed no correlation between students' knowledge and their attitudes towards using the learning platform. The existence of a positive trend towards the use of the e-learning platform among students registered through the e-learning platform more than the students registered on the university campus, the absence of statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of gender, based on their first language, in terms of predicting students' knowledge and their tendency towards using E-learning platform based on variables (status, gender and first language). It was found that the students' condition is an indicator of the situation that may indicate further study to investigate new factors that may affect students' knowledge and their attitude towards using the e-learning platform.12820211282021162171https://www.naun.org/main/NAUN/educationinformation/2020/a382008-019(2020).pdf10.46300/9109.2020.14.19https://www.naun.org/main/NAUN/educationinformation/2020/a382008-019(2020).pdf10.1108/00012530510589137Eynon, R.
