The current study aimed to highlight the effect of digitization on the quality of teaching in Algerian universities. It also sought to find out the teachers’ and students’ attitudes and perspectives towards the obligatory use of digitization in their professional activities and to investigate the extent to which university teaching quality is affected in the context of keeping up with digital technologies. To achieve these objectives, we used a semi-structured interview as a qualitative approach on a sample of teachers at Mostaganem University. They were selected purposively. The findings showed that the university must conduct training courses for both teachers and students, so they can adapt to the digital system and ensure positive outcomes from this technology. Although digitization helps in the development and diversification of teaching skills, many obstacles hinder its implementation, including concerns about information security, lack of qualified competencies and abilities, and insufficient budgets devoted to digital programs.
