Governance of the relocation of higher education from an information system point of view

Higher education is one of the sectors whose digital transformation has been accelerated due to Covid19. This transformation has enabled universities and colleges to adapt to new modes of distance education, to use modern technological tools, to acquire new skills and to overcome the space-time constraints of traditional education. In this sense, the entire chain of the educational ecosystem has adjusted to a flexible teaching method that has made it possible to streamline the sharing of content between the teaching body and the learning body. In view of this process of change, this article brings new reflections that will make it possible to expand the offer of higher education beyond the borders of the same country. The relocation of diplomas is a form of international scientific and cultural openness and influence for colleges and universities. For a country like Morocco, this type of approaches will promote support for its strategic orientations, contribute to its digital economy and create a dynamic for the development of areas of cooperation and research, particularly in its African context. However, it is essential to govern this relocation well in order to maintain good control of the distance education offer. The treatment of such governance in the light of the opening of information systems will make it possible to better delimit the informational field of this relocation, ensure better strategic alignment and identify the steering indicators to maintain the expected quality.
