Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online education in Algeria, where e-learning was previously limited. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on the implementation and challenges of online education in Algerian higher education, examining emergency remote teaching methods, perspectives on e-learning platforms, tools, and assessment, and factors influencing teachers’ and students’ attitudes toward online learning. A systematic research was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and ASJP databases for studies published between 2020-2025. Following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews guidelines, 65 studies were included for analysis. The review identified major challenges related to infrastructure, technology, pedagogy, and motivation. Key themes emerged around emergency teaching methods, e-learning platforms and tools, e-assessment, and attitudes toward online learning. Studies revealed a preference for blended approaches and highlighted needs for improved digital infrastructure and skills training. This review provides a comprehensive overview of post-pandemic e-learning implementation and challenges in Algerian higher education, offering crucial insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers seeking to advance remote and blended learning in Algeria.
