Abstract

This study aims to explore Algeria's experience with distance education through the use of the Moodle platform. It seeks to identify the main challenges facing the educational process. The results indicate a shift towards the use of the Moodle platform by teachers and students, especially in the last two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has made distance education via the Moodle platform a necessity despite the lack of experience and limited resources.

Therefore, it is imperative that Algerian universities are equipped with the necessary tools for implementing distance education and that specialists and technicians are trained in using the Moodle platform.
