Then we explained its importance in the field of higher education services in order to provide the student with the skill of dealing with the Internet to provide various information services based on an interactive electronic learning environment. In the latter we review the features of catching up with the information field of the Algerian university experience in the field of this type of education through some achievements, for example.
