“…Regarding the variable of training or educational specialisation, whether theoretical or practical, it was established that all students use remote educational platforms. Ashe & Molina (2021) confirmed that the use of an online educational platform allows a better balance between work and studies, so there is no need to give up anything. Studying online promotes vital time management skills, making it easier to find a good balance between work and study.…”

In February 2020 Ecuador declared a health emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic. On-site classes were suspended. The Ecuadorian university population does not adapt to virtual educational platforms. The objective of the study was to analyse student perception of Ecuadorian educational platforms in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was quantitative. The sample was non-probabilistic participatory, consisting of students from different universities in the Province of Chimborazo. For data collection, a questionnaire with four study variables was applied. The results were analysed with T student and MANOVA. There is a positive perception of students using the educational platforms. There were significant statistical differences according to gender variables, contrary to the levels of study and location, there is a greater sympathetic affection of students when receiving virtual classes by female teachers. It can be concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online learning by higher education institutions.

“…Teachers and students may have had issues with computer systems and timing. Students may not have felt teachers were supporting them and did not feel like their teacher was present (Ashe & Lopez, 2021). Some individuals lacked reliable access to the internet, which was required to complete coursework and meet in the virtual setting.…”

“…Communication between teachers and students was a concern in the virtual setting. Without effective communication in the virtual scene, students will be negatively impacted, disrupting the success of those participating in the virtual environment (Ashe & Lopez, 2021). The lack of interaction and communication in an online environment can make participants in the virtual setting feel isolated and secluded from others (Sepulveda-Escobar & Morrison, 2020).…”

“…Communication is critical in a virtual environment because students crave high-quality and meaningful interaction, which leads students to complete courses successfully. When communication is not present, and teachers do not contact or engage with students frequently, students do not make much progress in online courses (Ashe & Lopez, 2021). Communication tools have changed the dynamics of participants in the virtual setting allowing teachers and students to communicate instantly and be accessible to one another (Navarro-Espinosa et al, 2021).…”

The research examined high school teachers' perceptions of communication with their students in a remote virtual school setting. The problem was that communication was impacted when teachers and students transitioned from a traditional school setting to a remote virtual setting. This qualitative case study aimed to see how communication influenced the relationship between teachers and students. This case study provides teachers' perspectives on communication with students when pivoting from traditional schooling to remote instruction. Participants were ten teachers within a school district in Middle Tennessee who participated in at least one school year in a remote virtual school setting and one year in a face-to-face traditional school setting. A semi-structured interview protocol using Zoom and Survey Monkey questionnaires were used to gather data to determine how out-of-class communication and technology tools affect interactions and communication between teachers and students. Qualitative data revealed that online communication and technology tools positively influence communication and the teacher-student relationship in a remote setting.

“…У последње две деценије дигитална трансформација је процес који се одвија у готово свим пословним организацијама. Он није заобишао ни високошколске институције, а Covid-19 га је додатно убрзао, нарочито у сфери наставе (Ashe & Lopez, 2021;Ballad et al, 2022;Neuwirth et al, 2021;Teng & Wu, 2021). Образовне институције свих нивоа су биле приморане да у кратком временском периоду у потпуности пређу на неки вид онлајн функционисања (Rivers et al, 2022), при чему је било немогуће директно применити офлајн модел наставе у онлајн окружењу (Ang & Zhang, 2021;Mehall, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation of higher education institutions. In a very short period, teachers and students abruptly switched to digital environments, which they had not used until then. As online teaching is very different from traditional teaching, teachers and students are faced with numerous new challenges. Online teaching requires a specific environment that primarily implies the availability of adequate technology as well as the skills that both teachers and students should have. Some higher education institutions have completely switched to online mode, while others have practiced a combined (online and offline) mode. The aim of this paper is, based on a questionnaire developed by Bernard et al. (2007), to examine the level of online skills, readiness for online learning and learning initiatives, attitudes about online learning, as well as the desire for online interaction with teachers and colleagues by the surveyed students.
