“…The development of digital technologies creates a broader space for the application of new forms of education. The increasing number of existing learning environment affects the selection of a particular educational module, i.e., traditional classroom learning/teaching, distance teaching with the application of a variety of digital technologies (e.g., e-mail, virtual education [face-to-face] via a video conference system), as well as using social media [16], [17].…”

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the types and forms of continuing vocational education applied in selected Slovak companies and their benefits for employee performance. The basic concepts, i.e. compulsory and voluntary vocational training of employees, obligations of the employer and the employee related to these forms of education are defined in the paper in accordance with the law. Most of the mandatory trainings are intended for all employees of a given employer entity and concern occupational safety and health, first aid, fire protection, as well as trainings focused on regular verification and renewal of employees' skills. Voluntary educational activities are based on the interests and needs of employees. Questionnaire and interview methods were applied in the empirical research. The target number of respondents selected from two divisions of the statistical classification of economic activities in the Slovak Republic was 120. The research results presented in the tables show the types and forms of education/training applied in the analyzed companies, classified by the number of participants, duration and repetitiveness of the training. The research results confirm that mandatory training courses are organized in all the companies surveyed, while voluntary continuing education in these companies is most often conducted as a one-time educational activity of short duration.

With a focus on the problems faced by the education sector, this article shows the main technological tools used by teachers for remote teaching in an engineering education program during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a case study in a Latin American university positioned in the QS World University Ranking, the tools most frequently used for communication, storing information, messaging, and sharing learning videos are described. This study examines engineering’s areas of knowledge, considering that learning them poses a challenge for teaching in virtual environments due to the need to carry out laboratory practices. Using statistical methods, the relationships between the areas of the education program, the teachers’ sociodemographic variables, and the technological tools used to offer online classes during the lockdown are described. The results show that, from the perspective of the teacher and for the field of engineering, the tools with the most significant effect, in sometimes essential for teaching during the pandemic, were those related to the Google platforms, which were used in 75% of the cases for video communication and storage. Meanwhile, with 44 and 56% WhatsApp and Moodle, were the most used for messaging and sharing contents and learning materials.

Social media's integration into higher education is profound, serving as a dynamic tool for enhancing teaching and learning processes. While social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram cater to both educational content and social connectivity, they also bring challenges. These platforms facilitate interactive learning and enhance academic performance, but issues such as privacy concerns, distractions from educational tasks, and the potential for misinformation pose significant challenges. To harness the full potential of social media in educational settings, careful management and strategic implementation are essential. Challenges such as maintaining student privacy, minimising distractions, and ensuring content quality must be addressed through clear guidelines and promoting digital literacy. By selecting appropriate social media tools and fostering an environment conducive to academic success, educators can significantly enhance learning experiences, making education more engaging and aligned with digital advancements.
