E-LEARNING IN ALGERIAN HIGHER SCHOOLS: GOOGLE MEET PLATFORM AS A MODEL

Abstract

To follow up on educational activities in light of the Corona pandemic, Algerian higher schools and universities have resorted to using E-Learning as an alternative to in-person education by employing interactive educational platforms that facilitate communication between teachers and students. The current study aims to identify the reality of E-Learning from the students’ point of view through their interaction with the Google Meet platform. The descriptive approach was used, and the research sample included (88) students from the higher normal school of Kouba in Algeria during the academic year (2021-2022). The study tool was a questionnaire directed to students prepared by the researcher, consisting of (26) items divided into two areas. After analyzing the results statistically, the field study concluded that there are many advantages to the Google Meet platform, and there are also several difficulties facing students in dealing with this platform. There are also no statistically significant differences attributed to the student’s gender variable.
