The Effectiveness of Distance Learning Within Moroccan Universities

Abstract

Although distance learning has become an essential vector in university education for the majority of students during this period of health crisis, there is little evidence of its effectiveness among students in Morocco. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the current distance learning process in higher education institutions, to describe the types of distance learning provided, to analyse the teaching methods adopted, highlight the negative and positive aspects of the introduction of this form of learning; describe the perspectives and approaches to overcome the challenges of distance learning in Moroccan universities. This mixed methodology study, both quantitative and qualitative, aims to collect data on students’ attitudes and needs for distance learning through an online questionnaire administered to a sample of 550 students.
