On September 26, 2026, Constantine University's Continuing Education University hosted an orientation meeting for new students. The university has adopted a hybrid system, with on-campus classes on Thursdays and Saturdays, and distance learning through digital platforms. This approach has attracted hundreds of students, particularly employees and workers. University Director, Ahmed Amin Kermat, emphasized that the university is a distance learning institution with a strong focus on digitalization.
The meeting was attended by various lecturers, including Professor Youssef Abdelazim Chelabi, who delivered an opening lecture on "Constantine University in the midst of digital dynamics." He explained how to receive lessons through the "Progress" and "Moodle" platforms and how to download files. Other lecturers, such as Professor Sarah Ben Mohamed, focused on distance teaching, its benefits, and how to send activities.
The lecturers also discussed student obligations, differences between the new university and traditional universities, and the importance of attending on-campus classes on Saturdays. Professor Zohra Gredi highlighted the need for students to attend on-campus classes for basic measures, while Professor Adel Jarboua emphasized the role of digitalization in overcoming obstacles and facilitating communication.
The meeting provided an opportunity for students to ask questions and express concerns. Many students raised issues related to accessing the "Progress" and "Moodle" platforms. University Director, Ahmed Amin Kermat, responded that the university would organize a video simulation on Thursday to demonstrate how to access the platforms and find solutions for those who are struggling.
Students also inquired about the differences between activities and exams, and the lecturers provided detailed explanations. The university's pedagogical team, led by Professor Siagawil Chaouki, emphasized that activities constitute half of the success and encouraged students to focus on them. The team also addressed questions related to grading, attendance, and the possibility of studying two specialties in one year.
University Director, Ahmed Amin Kermat, clarified that the university's regulations are similar to those of traditional universities. He emphasized that attendance is compulsory, and students who do not attend classes will not be able to succeed. Kermat also explained that students can transfer between semesters with a certain number of credits but must make up for any deficiencies to graduate.
