With the information explosion and the expansion of digital learning in recent years, students have enhanced their global vision through collaborative online d-learning. Such experience has widened their cultural awareness and expanded their fields of learning. There have been many outstanding examples of d-learning, and the process of interacting through such online Web learning is examined in this paper. It should be emphasized that d-learning is not the same as distance learning as collaborative online d-learning usually consists of teaching units; and at this stage, it is not intended to put whole d-learning courses of study on the Internet.
