Socio-Technical Challenge in the Selection of the Remote E-Learning Platform

Abstract

Abstract The current pandemic context represents, without any doubt, the most serious challenge for all working environments, implicitly and educationally. Students and teachers alike are unwittingly deprived of such a natural meeting characteristic of the learning process in an amphitheatre or laboratory and thus put in the challenging situation of continuing their efforts to achieve the goal, by making the efficient use of the online environment in all its complexity (hardware infrastructure, educational platforms, accessibility to the internet connection). The article deals with the selection of the distance education platform by using a mathematical model of multi-criterial analysis of the factors involved. It is essential that education does not interrupt its course and continues to evolve, thus adding value to society. Moreover, our future, of all, depends on our ability to cope with the highest standards, the challenge created by distance education. By linking the skills of teachers and instructors, the potential of students and the optimization of IT resources, this desire is possible provided that each of the elements involved contributes to the achievement of the ultimate goal: preparing generations of young people for the uncertain future. The resilience of the public and private education system is dependent on the use of tools appropriate to the purposes assumed.
