This study explores the role of e-learning platforms in supporting the active learning elements for the first three grades. The study’s instrument is represented in a questionnaire consisting of 35 items. This questionnaire targets 4 areas, namely: speaking and listening, reading, writing, in addition to meditation and thinking. The sample consists of 336 female and male teachers. Results show that classroom teachers believe that e-learning platforms play a moderate role in supporting the active learning elements. Such platforms play a major role in supporting the elements of speaking, listening, and reading, while they play a minor role in supporting writing as well as meditation and thinking elements. The study recommends holding annual periodical conferences which might aim at developing the classroom teachers’ skills in relation to applying the elements of active learning. The study also recommends developing such platforms to improve teachers’ skills.
