The present study aimed at investigating the reality of students' use of selfregulated e-learning in addition to investigating students' attitudes towards this type of e-learning at Al-Quds Open University. The study also sought to examine the impact of some variables on these attitudes. To achieve these objectives, the questionnaire–based descriptive method was employed for collecting data from a clustered sample consisting of 146 male and female students who were taught through self-regulated e-learning in the first semester of the academic year 2015/2016. The results revealed that all students were found to have at least one or more devices that enabled them to learn through self-regulated e-learning, and the smart phone was the most common device among students 87%. The results also revealed that the students not only need more awareness of certain practical aspects including guidance and supervision, but also they are required to actively interact with emails on the Academic portal of QOU. Furthermore, the results revealed that students' attitudes towards self-regulated e-learning were high either on the total degree of the questionnaire or on all questionnaire items, in addition to the existence of statistically significant differences between students' attitudes due to the variables of the frequent use of "help and guide" emails, frequent use of e-course page, and the main source of learning used by the students.(Published Abstract)
