Despite numerous technical and publishing challenges, distance learning or e-learning is gaining momentum in Morocco in both the public and private sectors. Short-term forecasts show that 15% of private companies training budgets will soon be dedicated to distance learning programmes.
The increased availability and functionality of information technology (IT) has brought new teaching tools to the Moroccan market, including mobile phones, video-conferencing, e-mail, discussion forums, chat software and document sharing.
Open and/or remote learning (formation ouverte et/ou à distance, or FOAD), provides flexible training opportunities to individuals, businesses, and government bodies. Training packages can be tailored according to individual or collective needs and electronic resources can be accessed from anywhere. Because classrooms are virtual, students can study at their own pace and teachers can instruct and assess on a flexible schedule.
