“…It could also be stated that the IDU and COMU participants were pleased to use an integrated system and that they found it very useful to watch video-recorded lessons over and over again. As a support to these findings, Durak and Ataizi (2016), in his study, reports that students favor the platforms involving a number of environments. In addition to all these positive features, it was seen that negative situations, though few in number, were expressed by the participants.…”

“…In general, the most important criticism among all the participants was related to the disciplinary problems such as complacency and frivolity, which was followed by lack of interaction. Especially complacency was examined and emphasized in many studies as an element that needs attention (Alexander et al, 2012;Durak & Ataizi, 2016;Roseth et al, 2011).…”

With the Covid-19 pandemic, which was effective all over the world in early 2020, emergency distance education applications started. Universities in Turkey also suffered from this situation and quickly started their own distance education applications using their own facilities. Different applications carried out by universities have had different reflections upon education. For example, while some universities provided compulsory live classes, some universities did not. Students are the most important component of this process. In this respect, the purpose of this study was to examine university students' views about emergency distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this qualitatively designed study, 32 students from 4 different universities were asked for their views. An online questionnaire form made up of open-ended questions was used as the data collection tool. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method, and the themes were created. As a result, two of the four universities used the software of Microsoft Teams as a distance education system, while others preferred the software of Moodle and ALMS. It could be said that the students who used Microsoft Teams, which is an integrated system where live lessons can be held, were more satisfied in this process. In addition, the students' views about the distance education system, the positive and negative aspects of the system, live course practices, communication with the instructor, getting feedback, socialization, motivation, academic performance, comparison with traditional teaching, etc. were reported and interpreted within the scope of the theories of Uses and Gratifications and Diffusion of Innovations. It was seen that among the university students almost all of whom were anxious before the distance education, the worries of those who took live lessons and used an integrated system were completely removed. In this respect, within the scope of the distance education system, it could be stated that the elements of live lessons and interaction have great importance for students.

“…The most popular online tutorials of a kind are Udacity, Udemy, Lynda [12] etc. Furthermore, it is worth noting that one of the main benefits of online education is the dynamics of the transmitted knowledge changes [13]. The current development of science and technology is so rapid that new textbooks and manuals do not keep up at this pace.…”

The paper is focused on identifying the advantages and disadvantages of remote education systems in terms of modern requirements to practical skills of future professionals, especially in the engineering field. Based on the analysis of the shortcomings of the already existing distance education models in the context of the pandemic, the need for a fundamentally new remote training scheme has been substantiated. The proposed model allows the students and interns of the shipbuilding profile to master the theoretical backgrounds of shipboard design and engineering and complete all practical tasks, acquiring practical skills in specialized packages of up-to-date shipbuilding CAD systems entirely remotely.This model was tested using a peer-to-peer data exchange technology between three modern information platforms: Moodle, CADMATIC™ and TeamViewer. Advantages of this distance learning model were identified: the possibility of acquiring practical skills in modern computer-aided design systems from anywhere globally through direct interaction of the learner and the teacher in real-time. An appropriate engineering education approach has been developed based on the presented model, enabling the student to acquire needed practical skills and initial experience in ship design using modern three-dimensional CAD in remote mode. The described course prepares the trainees for work at shipbuilding design and production companies in initial engineering positions, namely in ship hull design, structural digital twins, and production information development. A pilot project, "Development and testing of specialised multimedia courses in advanced ship engineering", was implemented at the "Neoteric Naval Engineering Institute" of the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding. The project results show the high efficiency of using the proposed engineers training model considering modern requirements of employers to future designers and the commercial safety requirements of shipbuilding CAD systems suppliers. The relevance of the results obtained is justified both in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

“…Technology skilled educators will continue to be integral part of learners' life while technology bridge the physical spaces and time constraints between teachers and learners and distance learning has already been part of many higher learning institutions programmes now. Durak and Ataizi (2020) reported that based on a study conducted, almost all learners felt that distance learning platforms offer great convenience in terms of time and location. Despite advancement of digital technologies, it is important to note that learners vary in their abilities to understand learning materials.…”

Distance learning refers to any form of remote education where learners and educators use different technologies as an alternative approach in teaching and learning process to be able to deliver and exchange information. The use of Web-Mobile Platforms (WMPs); Edmodo and Telegram in language learning-acquisition among the undergraduate ODLs (open distance learners) enabled learners and educators to stay connected. This study aims to generate insights and sharing through a questionnaire and in-depth interview questions procedure on Edmodo and Telegram to seek the emerging themes and identify learners' perceptions in terms of learning time and space constraints in both contexts. The WMPs were used as the platform to accommodate learners' language learning materials and online discussion forums thus functioned as the scaffolding to facilitate learners' language learning-acquisition process. The study employs purposively sampling involving eleven undergraduate ODLs from a Malaysian university. The findings are presented in a narrative manner to illustrate the emerging themes and the pedagogical implications pertaining to how the WMPs break barriers by providing learners access to learning resources beyond the classroom learning time and space constraints and opportunities to communicate with their peers suggesting practicality and convenient ways of engaging in language learningacquisition via the WMPs thus bridge physical space and time constraints between them.
