Abstract:
The introduction of the LMD system in the Algerian university has created a situation of distress on how to apply the Bologna principles in the Algerian Higher Education.
The increasing nature of the socio-economic demand, the emergent need of creating job opportunities in collaboration with the industrial needs nationally and internationally and the widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies were all challenging imperatives that imposed an adjacent policy for Higher Education in Algeria.
On the other hand, the increasing number of students enrolling at Tertiary Education makes it difficult to cope up with the quality demand of an elitist formation. In this critical sightseeing, Algeria has to increase self-efficacy in using ICT in order to stay in line with the international educational standards.

The world ranking of universities reveals that much needs to be done in order to establish quality assurance at the level of Higher Education. To do so, a number of measures have been set by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in order to encourage research and to generalize ICT opportunities.

In this paper, I shall present a case study of how to better implement ICT use at university level in order to succeed in promoting education nationally and internationally on a win-win basis.
