Sažetak
Covid-19 pandemic has affected the way in which people work. In many professions employees have to conduct their obligations from home. University teachers also had to change their working style and to perform some or most of their educational activities in an online environment. This presentation will shortly describe some findings from the most recent research that are dealing with online learning in higher education during COVID-19 pandemic. Several available studies show that authors have mainly explored the attitudes of teachers and students towards new forms of virtual education, their satisfaction with the digital technology that is used for online teaching and learning, and the difficulties which they encountered in the process of distance education. The presentation brings a personal experience of online education in which participated students of library and information science at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences from the University of Osijek (Croatia). It also refers to information and communication technology that is used for online teaching (a platform for e-learning Moodle and virtual classrooms), and to some teaching methods, tasks and assignments for students in online courses. Moreover, it describes some advantages and challenges related to interaction with the students during virtual classes. The purpose of this report is to offer some practical information to university teachers from similar scientific fields and to give them potential ideas in organization of their teaching sessions. In other words this presentation offers some examples of distance learning practice which can be useful for university teachers who apply online education in the circumstances of the current pandemic.
