This study aims at examining the attitudes of English as a foreign language undergraduates’ towards learning basic writing skills through using Blackboard at the University of Tabuk for the academic year 2022/2023. The sample included 30 undergraduates selected purposively. It was distributed over two groups each 15 undergraduates (experimental and control groups). The theoretical framework of the study was based on Tubaishat and Lansari‘s (2011) Model of E-learning. The researcher used SPSS (Version.26) for data analysis. Findings showed statistically significant differences at level (0, 05) for the means of the achievement test for the two groups in favor of the experimental group that was taught using blackboard. Also, findings revealed statistical significance differences at level (0, 05) in developing the correlation between English as foreign language undergraduates towards basic writing skills as a result of the use of blackboard.
