The COVID 19 pandemic, resulting in the suspension of academic activities, is likely to have a negative impact on the already alarming indicators of the education system in the Central African Republic. This article aims to contribute to the continuity of courses at the University of Bangui in the context of Covid-19 through an e-learning platform. The methodological approach is based on collaborative work between teacher and student through a distance learning platform Moodle coupled with Bigbluebutton, an open source web conferencing solution for e-learning providing real-time sharing of audio, video, slides, whiteboard, chat and screen. This solution is deployed on a public cloud infrastructure. Students can use the Internet on any terminal to connect to the platform and follow the different activities. As the University of Bangui does not have an e-learning platform, our solution has made it possible to reach students remotely and limit the disruption to higher education due to covid-19 as recommended by UNESCO. © 2021 IEEE.
