E-learning in Algeria between reality and theorizing socio-educational study

Abstract

Algeria has embarked on a pioneering experiment in its university educational institutions through E- learning, a new approach that the country is considering as an alternative to traditional (presence-based) education in response to changes in the educational environment. Given the novelty of this approach, the incomplete understanding of its foundations and strategies, its relationship with traditional education, its effectiveness as an alternative, and the readiness of the educational environment to implement it, we have prepared this study titled “E-learning between Reality and Theorizing”, socio-educational study.

 Through this study, we found that, at present, e-learning cannot substitute traditional education but can complement it, forming what is known as hybrid education, The E-learning approach also draws on most traditional education theories, along with the emergence of new theories that align with the E-learning style, such as communication theory an extension of socio-constructivist theory.

Keywords: e-learning, reality, theorizing.
