The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of communication techniques in distance education programs. It aimed to explore the impact of such effectiveness on the student's learning outcomes at Jordanian universities. The researchers adopted a descriptive analytical approach. They developed a questionnaire based on the relevant literature. Questionnaire forms were distributed to 300 students enrolled at Jordanian universities located in the Northern Province. Those students were selected randomly. All the questionnaire forms were retrieved and considered valid and the response rate is one hundred percent. The researchers found that the effectiveness of communication techniques in distance education programs at Jordanian universities is moderate. The communication techniques have moderate impact on students' outcomes in distance education at Jordanian universities. Significant differences exist between the respondents' attitudes which can be attributed to gender and faculties for the favor females and the ones enrolled in human sciences faculties. There isn't any statistically significant difference between the respondents' attitudes which can be attributed to university year. The researchers recommend developing distance education.
