Successful E-learning: Wishful Thinking or Reality?

Abstract

Technology is developing at an unprecedented pace, and this is affecting the education system as well. This is especially true in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the consequences of which we are still feeling. Basically, COVID-19 has accelerated the inevitable change that has already begun and that has received an incredible boost on the way to the introduc­tion of e-learning. In this paper, the authors explore the question of wheth­er e-learning at the University of Rijeka (UNIRI) Constituents’ is really at a level where it can be said to be e-learning in the true sense of the word and whether it can be classified as successful. Since e-learning is an upcoming educational trend, it deserves special attention and a concrete assessment of its current status so that policymakers can direct their actions toward im­provements. Regardless of the outcome of this research, one thing is very clear: education and educational policy will never be the same again.
