Abstract

As technology continues to evolve rapidly, many educational platforms have emerged online, offering open access to their users. The pandemic prompted Algerian higher authorities to implement time-sensitive plans to save the academic year and the university's structured training program. Consequently, blended learning became the primary mode of instruction, increasing online delivery while reducing onsite teaching. Simultaneously, the University of Constantine implemented an online training 'UMFC' to help newly recruited teachers improve their skills in technology-mediated instruction. These acquired skills were quickly applied to enhance blended learning for graduate students at all Algerian universities. Students reported challenges in balancing mixed-mode instruction with in-person interaction, though both methods were recognized for their flexibility. In conclusion, UFMC training should be provided to all teachers and learners to improve student engagement and increase the adaptability of online platforms in the EFL context.
