Abstract

The skill of drawing patterns in different ways is one of the skills that require the use of the demonstration strategy due to the accuracy of this skill and its importance for the clothing industry. With the global conditions and the crisis that countries of the world are going through in the time of Corona pandemic, it is difficult to provide students with continuous training and practical demonstration inside traditional classrooms. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize teaching methods that would enable the students to train continuously and have direct and quick feedback. It was also necessary to introduce modern technological means, such as the Edmodo learning platform, which provides an integrated learning environment, and through which the study needs of students can be provided to achieve the desired goals. Thus, the current research aimed to create the Edmodo learning platform as a modern method to teach the drawing of Aldrich pattern for children, and measure its effectiveness in developing the knowledge and skills of students in drawing the Aldrich pattern for children, as well as identify the views of the students towards Edmodo. The significance of the present research lies in that it is an objective response to the education requirements at the present time through the use of the Edmodo learning platform as one of the free e-learning models that can be employed in teaching clothing and textile courses.
