This paper is specifically concerned with the matter of opting to E-Learning/Distance Learning by the contemporary educational systems- including Arab ones- in Corona Pandemic Time. This educational adopted strategy- as a potential alternative after study being suspended and schools being closed- made "Home" as a candidate alternative educational/learning medium instead of the classrooms and schools. This  candidate educational and instructional medium within distance learning paradigm faces- in Arab environment, generally, and Egyptian environment, in particular- a number of challenges. However, as potential educational option, it has some opportunities, as well as some characteristics that make petting on it conceivable; particularly, when people in charge and interested-formal and informal- concern about bridging the gap between the two parties; the original (school) and alternative (Home). In order to achieve this partnership for compensating students for depriving them from school, there are requirements to be met; which is the aim of this paper through its four pivots.
