The purpose of this study was to construct and apply a measuring scale to investigate students’ attitudes towards distance learning at Amman Arab University, a private university in Jordan, through the evaluation of students attitudes, opinions, and perceptions of distance learning. The study sample consisted of 731 students. A scale was developed, consisting of 45 items. The validity and reliability of the scale were assured; using the Factor Analysis procedure, the results showed a one-factor present in the performance on this scale. Also, the scree plot assured this result. In addition, the result showed a moderately positive attitude towards distance learning; teacher and student interaction was encouraging. Also, the results showed no statistically significant difference between the arithmetic means attributed to student gender. Thus, students’ attitudes and opinions favored distance learning. This study may provide feedback to decision-makers at the university to reveal the distance learning challenges facing them. The outcomes will help students and administrators make decisions concerning these challenges and how to overcome them to implement a successful e-learning system at the university.
