Context: Nowadays, e-Learning has become essential for the continuing education of health professionals, especially in developing countries. Its introduction in health care settings guarantees better opportunities for disseminating knowledge and skills. Objective: This study aimed to measure the effects of online training “E-learning” on the learning outcomes of nurses in two hospitals in the Casablanca-Settat region with the course “Health planning” as a training theme. Methods: This study is an experimental type, including an experimental group that benefited from online training (B, n2 = 30) and a Control group that benefited from face-to-face training (A, n1 = 30). We used a questionnaire to evaluate the nurses' knowledge (general and procedural) in pre and post-training and a questionnaire to evaluate the nurses' satisfaction with using e-learning in continuing education. Results: The results show a positive effect of online training on nurses' learning through an increase in knowledge (general and procedural) after comparing the average score in pre and post-training (The p-value is less than 0.05). Also, high satisfaction with the content covered, the methodology used in the e-Learning, and the quality of the platform. Conclusion: These results should encourage and motivate those responsible for continuing education to adopt online training as a complementary and promising solution to ensure flexible and continuous continuing education sessions for healthcare personnel.

From the point of view of educational environments technological innovation, teaching has stopped to be based on theory without the practical manipulations, providing new complementary educational services through different tools, computer modeling and simulations are necessary in order to encourage the university student's skills acquisition. In kinetics we have to estimate parameters for the catalytic chemical reactions, vapor deposition and many other reactions. Kinetic Monte Carlo is a simulation method often used when simulating how chemical systems evolve over time, for example how crystalline layers grow or evolve as atoms are deposited or hops around on a defined lattice surface or how concentrations of substrates depend on enzymatic reactions. The work presented in this paper aims at highlighting the role of using computer simulations in the practical work of the teaching of the kinetic chemical roles, especially due to their impact on learning during the teaching process. Undoubtedly, by applying the Monte Carlo method and implementing a computer application developed in the educational setting for the simulations of the chemical reactions provides the students with the opportunity to acquire new skills and abilities, including the didactic and educational ones, enabling them, thus, to create a new dynamic that aims at optimizing the process of interaction and interactivity in the university. The analysis of the collected data is made after carrying out a survey on the impact of the integration of this new techno-pedagogic instrument on the students of the MSC course taught in third year at the Faculty of Science-Ben M'sik. The analysis is showing the usefulness of using this system in order to participate in the integration of the other platforms and applications of scientific simulations.

The work presented in this paper aims at applying a new complementary computer methodology to the teaching of chemical science including the use of a virtual environment laboratory that has an alternative value for the simulation of practical experiments in chemistry. This study is based on two axes, the first deals with the implementation of a laboratory for simulation that helps to carry out various practical work of chemistry. The second axis aims to demonstrate the pedagogical impact of the use of virtual learning environments on the teaching-learning process in the university curriculum. To study the necessity and the feasibility of this technological tool we took as a case study the exploitation of the periodic table in the descriptive chemistry and the practical works of chemical kinetics. In this article we used a strategic methodology to meet the validation constraints of our computer tool thenwe conducted a qualitative study on a sample of students from the Physical Chemistry of Materials Laboratory at the Ben M'sik Faculty of Science to identify the didactical factors influencing the progress of the practical work using our computer solution.
