This chapter examines the significant milestone announced by the minister of higher education regarding the digital transformation of universities. The chapter discusses this strategic shift to address logistical challenges associated with physical university attendance and reduce the burdens of traditional paperwork. The chapter also highlights the challenges that persist, particularly with the digitalisation reliability, such as the instability of the PROGRES platform used for student and teacher evaluations. Furthermore, the chapter critically examines the implications of digitalisation in higher education (HE), focusing on its impact on students and educators and its alignment with sustainable development outcomes. Through a survey conducted across 47 universities in Algeria, the chapter explores the experiences of teachers and students with e-learning and digitalisation. The investigation reveals centralised and inflexible plans for digitalisation while plans to digitalise HE seem to be more aligned with administrative procedures than academic ones. The findings suggest that while digitalisation has the potential to enhance efficiency and transparency, some challenges remain that must be addressed to realise these benefits fully.

摘要

This chapter examines the significant milestone announced by the minister of higher education regarding the digital transformation of universities. The chapter discusses this strategic shift to address logistical challenges associated with physical university attendance and reduce the burdens of traditional paperwork. The chapter also highlights the challenges that persist, particularly with the digitalisation reliability, such as the instability of the PROGRES platform used for student and teacher evaluations. Furthermore, the chapter critically examines the implications of digitalisation in higher education (HE), focusing on its impact on students and educators and its alignment with sustainable development outcomes. Through a survey conducted across 47 universities in Algeria, the chapter explores the experiences of teachers and students with e-learning and digitalisation. The investigation reveals centralised and inflexible plans for digitalisation while plans to digitalise HE seem to be more aligned with administrative procedures than academic ones. The findings suggest that while digitalisation has the potential to enhance efficiency and transparency, some challenges remain that must be addressed to realise these benefits fully.
