Résumé

The role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play in modernizing all society facets has become undeniably crucial. The last world pandemic of COVID 19 has not only confirmed that role but has urged all institutions all over the world to adjust their traditional work methods with new unconventional alternatives, through one common context: virtual. The present paper seeks to recall attention to the unavoidable method of online learning, by reporting an overview of worldwide experiences of its use and its expansion in education, as well as directing a special concern toward that new trend in higher education in Algeria. The study’s outcomes of the Algerian sample indicate that teachers’ and learners’ readiness, attitudes, material means in addition to other constraints still hinder that objective.
