Abstract:
Today, the COVID19 pandemic has not only completely changed the social, economic, and cultural situation around the world, but has also had a significant impact on the form of learning in society. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of coronavirus infection has led to an increase in forced social distancing and the transition from personal to digital contacts. The changes affected, among other things, higher education, which in our country has traditionally used more personal communication in the learning process. In fact, the whole world was forced to switch
to distance learning. Distance learning (from the Latin Distantia – distance) is an international term, sometimes interpreted as "distance education". Denotes purposeful and methodically organized management of educational and cognitive activities and development of persons who are at a distance from the educational institution and therefore do not come into constant contact with its teaching staff. It is practiced in two forms, usually
combined in different combinations: a) through correspondence, during which the teacher adjusts and controls the development of the educational program; b) through the media – lectures and instructions, audiovisual materials, individual telephone consultations. Distance technologies are used in both formal and non-formal education.
