Abstract

Improvements in education science move from teacher centred to student centred learning systems. Thus, blended learning had a direct impact on students’ learning process. The conception of distance teaching was a must at a certain time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study aims to search for the achievements of distance teaching/learning experienced at Mascara University. A research study showed that the effect of the virtual learning model through Google Classroom denotes students’ positive responses. This research study is significant because it reflects the utility and efficiency of Google Classroom which is considered to be uncomplicated for both teachers and students. In this essence, an experimental application of Google Classroom has been applied to a number of 152 First Year Licence and Master LMD (Licence-Master-Doctorate) Grades students. This experimental research tool had a significant influence on the teaching procedure. According to the findings, there was a clear difference between customary traditional and distance learning. It can be confessed that according to the persistence of student achievement, this Google Classroom learning method demonstrated an unexpected effectiveness.
