Abstract: Since 2012, the Frères Mentouri University Constantine 1 (UFMC1) in Algeria has initiated a specialized training program in information and communication technologies (ICT) as well as in pedagogical practices. In accordance with Ministerial Decree No. 932 of July 28, 2016, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (hereafter MESR), this training has been extended nationwide to benefit newly recruited university instructors, with the aim of strengthening their competencies in this area. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this training by examining the extent to which it meets their needs, both in their teaching roles and in their research activities. To this end, a questionnaire was developed and distributed to instructors from the 2023/2024 cohort. The results show that, while the training generally covers aspects related to the pedagogical design of digital assessment tools, it remains insufficient for advanced use of Moodle's features in research and learning monitoring. This finding highlights the need for continuous improvement of the training program in order to better meet the specific expectations of instructors in these areas.
