Abstract
To ensure learning continuity and to improve students' learning outcomes, teachers embraced a range of methods for teaching online from recording lectures to posting videos and notes. Thanks to these virtual learning environments, students were offered a solid mechanism with a view of ensuring the continuity of their education amidst the pandemic. This chapter investigates the university teachers' perceptions, evaluates their experience amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and explores the challenges that hinder the implementation of an efficient online education process. In this study, 57 professors from Higher School of Technology of Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdallah University responded to an online survey. The results revealed that in spite of the technical and pedagogical challenges, university professors hold a positive attitude towards online learning. The findings will help to develop sound strategies for a successful implementation of online teaching-learning for the long term and build resilience in the Moroccan educational system.
