Abstract
This study investigates teachers' and students' opinions about the E-learning use in the Algerian universities and the only accreditation on the Moodle platform as a main electronic teaching system to finish the academic year. The target sample of this study is 14 permanent teachers, 169 student (121 students from Larbi Ben M'hidi University Oum El Bouaghi and 48 from different Algerian universities). To collect data, three questionnaires were used, one for each category. The results show that most students (76%) think that the e-learning was NOT appropriately used during the global pandemic and (59.5%) of the students said that it is not restricted to the mere use of Moodle platform. The results also show that teachers stated that they did not receive any pre-training to use e-learning (78% of them did). To conclude with, it can be said that the first hypothesis of this study, which is e-learning was not appropriately used in the Algerian universities because neither teachers nor students were trained to use its techniques, is confirmed. The second hypothesis (both teachers and students believe that e-learning is not restricted to the mere use of Moodle platform) was also confirmed in the sense that 64% of students and 83% of teachers approved it.
