The online learning from the students' perspective

Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic has led to school closures worldwide. In Hungary, on 11 March 2020, the Government ordered a ban on university attendance, while on 13 March it also decided to switch to digital distance education in public education. Our research revolves around the educational challenge that emerged from the epidemic from a student perspective. We examined the provision of digital tools required for online education. We collected feedback from students on the pros and cons of online education. Access to technology is not enough for digital education, the change of pedagogical approach is also needed. We collected examples and suggestions for creative digital teaching practices, also based on the students' experience.
