“…Therefore, synchronous (webinar, video conference, etc.) and asynchronous meetings, especially discussion forums, scheduled during the training are highly appreciated by many learners and are considered crucial in helping them maintain their motivation [21] and grow their enthusiasm [16].…”

This paper aims at highlighting the contribution of online tutoring to the quality of distance learning (DL) and its effect on the progress and success of learners. The aim is, therefore, to judge the role of the tutor and the effect of his or her intervention on satisfying the real needs of Moroccan teachers in terms of learning during continuous training in DL mode. This study is grounded on a literature review regarding the effectiveness of tutoring and the qualitative analysis of data collected from a series of semi-structured interviews with actors (N=20) involved in the DL of Moroccan teachers. This study was achieved by the analysis of the results of a questionnaire returned by teachers (sample n=180) who were beneficiaries of the DL entitled “Communication in the Classroom,” which was provided by the Distance Learning for Students, Teachers and Professionals Association (FADEEP). The results emphasize the importance of factors relating to the effectiveness of tutoring in the quality of the DL and, more particularly, to the relevance of the tutor’s answers and his or her availability on the platform—and consequently, in the success of the learner—in addition to the material and technical, pedagogical, organizational, socio-political, and socio-cultural factors and factors linked to the learner of course.

“…Learning platforms also provide the opportunity for students to engage in discussions with teachers or their peers, allowing Ruberg, Moore and Tayler [23] "chat" populations to develop qualities of criticism and engage in discussions without complexes. Tahiri [24]. The work of Karsenty et al [20] which focused on students' views about ICT in learning, highlighted the added value of these devices and tools to training.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze students' opinions about online education. A questionnaire of 13 mixed questions was ad-ministered for this purpose to 88 students belonging to the three levels of a professional teaching license. The variables are: the importance and the advantages of putting courses online, the impact on the quality of training, the knowledge and use of learning platforms by students and the difficulties of integrating online courses into training. The results show that 80% of students believe that the integration of online courses into the curriculum is important. 46% of the subjects attribute to it a gain in time and money. 12% talk about improvements in learning. The quality of teaching would be better according to 91% of the sample. Research has also revealed a lack of knowledge and use of online training platforms.

This study presents findings on the effectiveness and perception of teacher professional development in online-only and blended learning (BL) formats. The analysis of a total of 115 studies from the research field of online teacher professional development (OTPD) showed that digitized training predominantly led to positive effects on teachers' competencies and teaching practice. Among some of the other positive impacts of OTPD were improvements in students' learning performance, attitudes and motivations, and teachers' self-efficacy; though these aspects were considered much less frequently overall. Despite individual criticisms and suggestions for improvement, OTPD courses were endorsed by teachers. In terms of the take-up amongst participants, online-only and BL formats scored similarly, with the inclusion of synchronous phases, collaborative activities, and support activities proving to be decisive criteria for evaluation. In context of support activities, the involvement of an instructor was found to be effective, although it became clear that it is not only the presence of an instructor that matters, but also the way in which he is involved in the OTPD activity (Lantz-Andersson et al. Teach Teach Educ 75:302-315, 2018 ). A basic open attitude towards OTPD was also held by the training staff, even when complications and difficulties were pointed out.
