Without the help of the Faculty of Engineering at Kabul University this would nothave been possible. Beyond lesson plans and lectures the adjuncts brought to NMAA bothprofessional and academic credibility. Three adjuncts had recently graduated at the top of theirrespective classes from Kabul University. The fourth was a seasoned educator with years ofexperience. These credentials ranked them among the elite of Afghanistan’s scholars andeducators making them much more qualified to teach at the college level than most of NMAA’smilitary faculty.

In this work we present hybrid e-learning with a virtual face-to-face methodology that we have used for distance delivery ofgraduate level electrical engineering courses. It should be noted that among the recent publishedstudies in this area, some define hybrid learning as a combination of “face-to-face” and“asynchronous” 6-10 and some, like ours, as “synchronous” and “asynchronous” 11-12, where thesynchronous part is a “face-to-face” or virtual face-to-face. This methodology is a special caseof common hybrid delivery, where technology plays a more significant role, and at the sametime, it is more difficult to plan and administer
