This study analyses and presents accounting academics' experiences in six universities in Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia to adapt to the swift change to the remote virtual classroom delivery model forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also gaining valuable lessons from this unique situation. In this study, autoethnography's basic principles were used. The main results suggest that the universities' combined current information and communication technologies, learning management systems, blended learning experiences, training, and supports, although not without hitches, were able to accommodate the shift to a remote virtual classroom model quite effectively. However, the move to fully online assessment has been conceded to likely increase the embedded risk of student cheating. The availability of reliable internet connection for students is also crucial in ensuring access equality and effective remote virtual classroom delivery.

The aim of the study was to investigate secondary school students’ and teachers’ access to information technologies in Turkey by making interregional comparisons. Document analysis of the qualitative research methods was employed to analyze the reports issued by the Turkish Ministry of National Education, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The results of the research revealed the importance of access to information and communication technologies for both students and teachers: 67.9% of the participating students were found to have Internet connection and 69.1% a computer in their homes, while 80.3% of the students were observed to use a computer outside the school, but 19.7% were not. The results also showed that 64.6% of the students have Internet connection in their classrooms, but 29.2% of these students do not use the Internet in the classroom, whereas 8.9% use it in the classroom all the time. The rate of students using a digital device for reading is 38.1%, while that of those not using one is 61.9%. Some 32.1% of secondary school students were revealed not to have Internet connection at home. Additionally, 77% of teachers were not trained in online teaching prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, teachers can be suggested to develop projects – i.e., of TUBITAK, E-twinning, and Erasmus – which potentially encourage students to use information and communication technologies so that both teachers and students can benefit from them. It is also suggested that the Ministry of National Education should work on improving the information communication technology competencies of teachers and students. Besides, policies should be developed to eliminate regional differences in terms of access to digital resources and technology in terms of equal opportunities and opportunities.

This article discusses the effectiveness of the use of information and communication technologies in the educational process, use of modern innovative teaching technologies in the system of training of future specialists. The strategy of the state policy for the development of education requires a transition to digitalization technologies. In this regard, there is a need to introduce rational solutions of information and communication technologies in all areas of the economy, including education. The article presents the recommendations of domestic scientists and methodologists who studied didactics and methods for the widespread use of information and communication technologies in the educational process. One of the most effective products of information and communication technologies is the value of cognitive, informative and active components for the use of electronic content in the educational process in the process of training of future teachers. In conclusion, descriptions are given of a number of basic principles that are recommended to be guided in the development of electronic content for specific disciplines.

A inclusão de variados recursos tecnológicos contribui para a interação entre as modalidades de ensino presencial e a distância, assim como para o diálogo entre as diferentes abordagens pedagógicas. Esse processo tem ocorrido, sobretudo, em função dos recursos tecnológicos se inserirem em todas as dimensões da vida social, sejam pessoais e/ou profissionais. Ao incorporar os diferentes recursos tecnológicos às diferentes modalidades de ensino (presencial e a distância), o espaço educacional se abre de forma ilimitada. Entre a sala de aula presencial e a sala de aula virtual, interpõe-se uma vasta e indefinível fronteira entre o conteúdo e a aprendizagem, entre o professor e o aluno, entre a teoria e a prática, entre o real e o virtual. Nesse sentido, a inserção dos diferentes modelos pedagógicos se torna emergente, a fim de atender favoravelmente a um vasto número de identidades culturais, pois o conhecimento se sustenta, complementa-se e se enriquece quando emerge de um diálogo entre os diferentes componentes que dele fazem parte. A presente pesquisa se estabelece visando identificar a necessidade de implementar, no processo ensino aprendizagem, subsidiado pelas diferentes tecnologias digitais da informação e da comunicação, novos modelos pedagógicos, sendo o foco deste estudo o ensino superior. Tal pesquisa, de cunho bibliográfico, buscou, baseada em autores contemporâneos, apresentar os modelos pedagógicos aplicados na contemporaneidade em função da inserção das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação nos contextos de aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Tecnologia Digital; Educação a Distância; Modelos de Aprendizagem. Characteristics and Educational Directions in the Digital Age AbstractThe inclusion of various technological resources contributes to the interaction between the types of classroom teaching and distance, as well as for dialogue between the different pedagogical approaches. This process has taken place, especially in the light of technological resources to insert in all dimensions of social life, are personal and / or professional. By incorporating the different technological resources to different forms of education (classroom and distance), the educational space opens indefinitely. Between the face classroom and virtual classroom interposes a vast and indefinable boundary between content and learning between the teacher and the student, between theory and practice, between the real and the virtual. In this sense, the integration of different pedagogical models becomes emerging in order to meet favorably to a vast number of cultural identities, because knowledge is based, is complemented and enriched when emerging from a dialogue between the various components which make part. This research is established in order to identify the need to implement, in the learning process, supported by the different digital technologies of information and communication, new pedagogical models, and the focus of this study higher education. This research, bibliographic nature, sought, based on contemporary authors present the pedagogical models used nowadays due to the insertion of digital information and communication technologies in learning contexts. Keywords: Digital Technology; Distance Education; Learning Models.

One of the challenges of higher education focuses on the improvement of personal and professional skills of students, with the aim of strengthening strategies that include cutting-edge resources in the learning process. The appropriate use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teaching work as support in face-to-face mode, has a significant impact on engineering professionals. With the correct handling of instruments, strategies, evaluations and educational materials mediated by technologies, which provide great advantages, where the student can work at their own pace and improve the synchronous and asynchronous communication channels with the teacher and their classmates to develop skills and acquire experiences. This work presents the incorporation of educational resources in virtual scenarios as support to the learning units taught in face-to-face modality in the Interdisciplinary Professional Unit of Engineering campus Guanajuato (UPIIG), with the purpose of reinforcing in the student self-management of knowledge to discover new teaching experiences and motivate them in the achievement of meaningful learning.
