Abstract

This paper describes the current situation of the use of E-learning in Moroccan higher education at the time of COVID-19. We present a comparative study of the most well‐known E-learning platforms widely used in universities and higher education for E-learning while focusing on analyzing the solutions adopted by Moroccan establishments during the current crisis. The objective is to highlight the limitations and describe the challenges facing the development of an appropriate E-learning system in Morocco.
