Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Algerian university had to face a critical situation. Online learning was the only alternative to ensure the continuity of education throughout the first semester of the 2020–2021 academic year. This research employs the results of 100 student responses to a paper survey and statistical analysis using obtained results in an examination of 200 students before and after the pandemic. This study was carried out by a team of Algerian researchers from the Computer Science and Mathematics Laboratory of Ibn Khaldoun University among 1st year students of a bachelor's degree in computer science. The results show that students have been able to provide their courses online despite the fact that the vast majority of them had many barriers such as the quality of the internet connection, distance to the university, have a computer, and quiet work environment. Finally, two sides were pointed out, namely the importance of distance learning for some online courses and the lack of pedagogical instructions to perform hybrid learning on the other hand.
