Nouveaux modes de lecture-écriture et travail collaboratif des enseignants-chercheurs tunisiens dans l'environnement numérique

The authors wonder if reading-writing practices are changing among Tunisian teacher-researchers in a recently emerging digital context. What are their new practices and their new forms of content appropriation? Do they develop scientific or educational exchanges or co-productions? Do they use the different features and tools offered by the digital medium? In collaborative work?
To answer these questions, a questionnaire survey was carried out among 134 teacher-researchers related to hard, applied and soft sciences and who come from the five universities of greater Tunis.
The results show that the journal article, the educational document and the thesis are the documents most read by the sample. The structuring elements "title", "table of contents" and "summary and key words" are generally considered the most useful, but there are nuances depending on the discipline. PDF is the most used and appreciated format by our respondents. It is a presentation format with markings similar to those of paper.
Also, two thirds of the sample judge that hypertext links are a source of enrichment and understanding of the content but they are not a source of confusion.
