E-Learning helps in situations of quarantine and lockdown. It helps us continue our learning process despite the interruption of travel, public transport, and restriction of personal movement. E-learning has become quite popular among students worldwide, particularly during the lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project aims to assess the current situation of establishing an eLearning Program in Faculties of Medicine and nursery sciences at Khartoum. A cross-sectional, mixed quantative and qualitative, campus-based study. A total of 95 participants who were accessible to us during lockdown were assessed to estimate the availability of essential resources needed to apply the online delivery teaching system. The teachers and students of the two faculties of medicine and nursing sciences at the University of Khartoum were selected purposefully and trained on basic generic eLearning activities. Their skills and competencies were assessed via Pre and Post Test. In this study, 95 participants completed the project process. Of them, 75 (78.9%) were students, and 25 (21.1%) were faculty and administrators from medicine and nursing. The evaluation of the implementation of an e-learning program in our setting through faculty and student input was assessed and satisfied, in addition to the availability of technological resources and commitment. Both students and faculties positively support e-learning for successful transition to e-learning partly in times of emergencies with the support of World Health Organization. We have investigated the feasibility of implementing an e-learning project and recommend adoption of the guide. We advocate improving internet connectivity, power supply, and costs.
