Highlights

  • Computer science teaching labs struggled after the university closures during the pandemic.

  • The study examined students learning attitudes and their assessment during the closure.

  • The results revealed that the course appeared to have met all learning objectives.

  • The online teaching of the graphic design course was successful in meeting students' expectations.

Abstract

The Algerian Ministry of Higher Education announced the closure of universities and switched to distance teaching due to the strong and rapid spread of COVID-19. The pandemic that forced this change created many obstacles to pedagogy. In fact, many related issues had to be resolved and other alternative teaching strategies examined. This article defines a strategy that ensures the pedagogical continuity of laboratory practical work of computer graphics course in a COVID- 19 context. It also includes data analysis of student satisfaction questionnaire on the lab work strategy quality. As a result of this research, the success rates in the graphics design course reached 91,79% and students' grades ranged from 4.33/20 to 18.17/20. This result is consistent with the combined-type graphical representation of COLLES. Guidelines and best practices are provided for performing online learning labs, including the university's online learning platform as well as different teaching scenarios, tutoring and peer assessment techniques. Computer science instructors can use this innovative strategy to develop content-specific courses, establish recommended skills, and deploy technology to improve their teaching methods.
