E-learning and Algerian university reforms future

Abstract

The Algerian university now seeks to adopt the means and methods of modern education, such as the E-Learning. This study attempts to shed light on the applications of Internet in the development of E-learning and its integration in the sector of higher education and scientific research. It is in this light that comes the statement of the problem: To what extent can the Algerian university adopt the E-learning? And with its adoption in parallel with the traditional model, will it be possible to solve problems? Therefore, some sub-questions may be asked: ־Is the Algerian University in a good position to respond to the increase of the students number and has it enough financial and educational resources that meet the student’s expectations, and social development?־Does the Algerian University possess the TIC potentials, which have become particularly outstanding in higher education? ־Does the potential of Internet and ICT applications encourage the Algerian university to adopt the E-Learning.
