Towards a hybrid learning model for the higher education system in Morocco

The Moroccan Higher Education System has been based until now on actual physical students' attendance to courses and lectures as one of its compulsory features. In this way, students, who, for some reason or another, cannot attend, find themselves at a loss and with no available follow-up means to access, the course or lecture contents delivered in class. At present, given the availability of distance learning platforms such as MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) and the appearance of platforms of pedagogical content management. Such as Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment), a number of online courses are available and freely accessible. Our contribution attempts to present a model of a hybrid education system (face-to-face / distance learning) for the benefit of university learners through a theoretical framework that is mainly inspired from the theory of activity and is interested in a number of resources that are well adapted to innovative pedagogical dimensions. In this approach, part of the modules are taught in-person, another is taught at a distance through proprietary or free MOOC and a third is taught remotely through an e-learning system specific to the institution. The methodology requires effective supervision and ongoing commitment of teachers and learners.
