E-learning and auxiliary mechanisms: digital documentary props in the context of higher education in Algeria

Abstract

The digital documentary support is considered an absolute technological necessity imposed by the digital environment, which has gradually affected most of the scientific and intellectual activities, especially the educational process that moved towards e-learning and clearly helped the circulation and use of documentary resources online. Accordingly in our study, we describe the importance of digital documentary supports as a digital source of knowledge and the various mechanisms developed by the ministry of higher education in order to providing informational supports that assist in the educational and research process and their use by students. As a foundation, despite the difficulties that may surrounds the process of providing digital documentary supports, we conclude that they have become an inevitable necessity in light of recent developments in all scientific fields, especially e-learning and access to the full text due to the many positives that are provided by the portals, platforms and services that it provides.
