“…International research materials demonstrate the importance of taking into account the negative aspects and dysfunctions when switching to online training. In particular, according to a group of researchers led by Bataineh K. B., the majority of students at Jordanian universities are dissatisfied with the online learning experience, as they faced the problems such as low Internet speed, insufficient software availability, and unsatisfactory design of online content (Bataineh et al, 2021).…”

The epidemiological crisis made it necessary to transform the practice of higher education in the conditions of transition to remote mode. Online training has become an alternative to the faceto-face format of classes, which updates the analysis of key risks and problems of the educational process in the context of the pandemic. The leading research method was a questionnaire survey of students with online learning experience (N = 146 people). The survey was conducted in May 2020. For a deeper interpretation of a number of conclusions, the authors conducted a focus group in September 2020 (N = 12 people), which included students of 2-3 years of study at Russian universities. The authors set a goal to study the degree of adaptation of students to new learning conditions, the specifics of their perception of various aspects of learning in an online environment, problems and risks. The results of the study showed that every fourth student when switching to online mode could not successfully adapt to the new format of training. It is concluded that the key risks of online learning are associated with the lack of direct communication channels, the spread of the practice of imitating students' learning activities in the context of reducing the control function of the teacher. The lack of readiness of students to maintain the necessary level of selforganization led to a decrease in students' requirements for themselves as an active participant in the educational process, while increasing requirements for digital competencies and personal qualities of the teacher. In terms of online learning, students demonstrate the need for additional measures to maintain interest in learning: game context, network interaction in the "studentstudent" system, charismatic presentation of material.

The implementation of distance learning during the pandemic: the experience of the Timiryazev Academy

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For the modern higher education system, it is difficult to find a more relevant topic than distance learning. Having tested the distance format in the spring of 2020, when strict self-isolation measures were introduced by the decision of the city authorities, higher educational institutions in Moscow switched to this format again in the fall of 2020, in connection with the onset of the second wave of the pandemic. Considering that subsequent waves of the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses are possible, Russian higher educational institutions must be ready to take on new challenges, which makes improving the distance learning system in each specific educational institution an extremely important task in planning and organizing the educational process. The purpose of the study: to share the experience of the Timiryazev Academy on the implementation of distance learning during the pandemic. The object of the research is distance learning. The subject of the research is the implementation of distance learning at the Timiryazev Academy in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years. The research methods are content analysis of the official website of the Timiryazev Academy and other Internet resources, as well as the sociological survey of students of the Timiryazev Academy. The article shows the main problems that the academy faced when implementing distance learning: selection of high-quality content, psychological preparation of teachers, establishment of operational communication, as well as the provision of students with means of communication. The main scientific result: it is shown that the key to successfully overcoming the difficulties and solving the problems caused by the pandemic was the course for the consistent digitalization of the educational process, which began to be performed at the Timiryazev Academy even before the pandemic started.

“…It is often nowadays that we hear expressions such as "distance learning", "online learning", "web-based learning", and "blended learning", all of which refer to some form of the utilization of the computer and the internet in teaching and learning (Dhawan, 2020). The use of technology in higher education can facilitate learning anytime and anywhere, providing students with engaging learning materials and allowing teachers to share learning content in all formats (Word documents, slideshows, PDFs, and videos), prepare and deliver lessons, and evaluate students (Bataineh et al, 2021;Raheem & Khan, 2020). Therefore, e-learning can be a tool for making the teaching and learning process more student-centered, flexible, and inventive (Dhawan, 2020).…”

“…This came as a surprise for many lecturers and students, as university education in Jordan is usually mainly classroom-based. Although most Jordanian universities were already utilizing blended-learning methods using e-learning systems, the transition from traditional to online learning was not straightforward and came with many challenges (Bataineh et al, 2021).…”

During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the national lockdowns implemented in countries around the world, many universities worldwide made the transition from face-to-face delivery to online learning using e-learning systems. However, the successful transition from traditional class-based learning to online learning depends greatly on understanding the challenges related to the implementation and use of e-learning systems, as well as the technical and management factors that need to be enhanced. This study aimed to investigate the challenges related to the use of e-learning systems in Jordanian universities and to explore the technical and management aspects that impacted the successful implementation and use of e-learning systems during COVID-19. To achieve the study objectives, a questionnaire was developed by the researcher and distributed online to lecturers working at Jordanian universities. A total of 184 lecturers participated in the study. Based on the findings, the study provides recommendations which will help higher education policy makers, university management teams, and software developers build strategies to ensure the successful implementation and use of e-learning systems during the COVID-19 pandemic.
