The chapter characterizes the transformation of the learning process from full-time to distance learning on the example of Faculty of Economics, Matej Bel University in Slovakia, during the COVID-19 epidemic in the form of case study. The chapter analyses the strengths and weaknesses of this process during the summer semester 2019/2020 based on the secondary data and results of a questionnaire survey among faculty students realized in 2 rounds – in the first stage of transformation (April 2020) and after the end of summer semester (June 2020). It identifies the key steps that have (or had) to be taken to overcome the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the key challenges for the future development of virtual learning as a full compensation of full-time form of study from the students' and faculty's perspective. This case is an example of smart education in crisis situations. The results show that distance learning can be a suitable complement to the fully presence learning process, and temporarily, it can replace it in emergency situations.

T he current epidemic situation in Russia and the world caused by coronavirus infection requires prompt solutions to eliminate the consequences of the pandemic in almost all sectors of economic activity. The isolation of the population from mutual contacts was one of the effective solutions to the problem. This arose the need for the educational institutions to promptly switch to a remote mode of education. Those involved in the distance learning process faced a wide range of different problems, which defines the topicality of developing the efficient measures aimed to overcome the challenges of the distance learning process. The subject of the work is the analysis of the processes arising from the sudden transition of the educational environment of the university to the distance learning format, the development of a rating model designed to grade the problems which are important for the students and which are determined by the transition to the distance learning format, and the development of directions for solving the established problems. The aim of the study is to identify the problems that have arisen from the transition to a distance learning format among the students and to develop an organizational and managerial tool to fix these problems. The study relies on the information taken from a secondary data analysis performed by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) and the results of their own research by the students specializing in Economics at the Institute of Economics and Management in Penza State University. The research methods included SPSS based comparative and frequency analysis. The scientific novelty of the work is as follows: 1) a rating evaluation of the problems arising from the transfer of the educational process of the university to a distance learning format in the context of a "shock" transition associated with force majeure caused by coronavirus infection has been developed; 2) University students’ satisfaction with distance learning and students’ readiness to apply the technological distance learning tools and possibilities of Moodle based electronic educational resources in the distance learning format have been identified. Statistical processing of the research results with nonparametric criteria contributes into the reliability of the findings and the recommendation. The practical significance of the research lies in the developed concept of the organizational and managerial mechanism for overcoming the problems arising from the transition to the university’s distance learning environment. This mechanism refers to the social and informational areas, reduces the time of transition to the distance learning format, and accounts for the interests and readiness of the teaching staff and students. Further research is seen to be connected with monitoring the validity of the revealed problems in their dynamics with a one semester lag.

Learning Analysis

Abstract: Normally, Learning Analytics (LA) can be focused on the analysis of the learning process or the student behavior. In this paper is analyzed the use of LA in the context of distance learning universities, particularly focuses on the students’ behavior. We propose to use a new concept, called "Autonomic Cycle of Learning Analysis Tasks", which defines a set of tasks of LA, whose common objective is to achieve an improvement in the process under study. In this paper, we develop the "Autonomic Cycle of LA Tasks" to analyze the dropout in distance learning institutions. We use a business intelligence methodology in order to develop the "Autonomic Cycle of LA Tasks" for the analysis of the dropout in distance learning. The Autonomic Cycle identifies factors that influence the decision of a student to abandon their studies, predicts the potentially susceptible students to abandon their university studies, and define a motivational pattern for these students.  Spanish Abstract: Normalmente, La Análitica del Aprendizaje puede enfocarse en el análisis del proceso de aprendizaje, o en el análisis del comportamiento del estudiante. En este artículo se analiza el uso de LA en el contexto de las universidades a distancia, centrándonos particularmente en el comportamiento de los estudiantes. Para ello, proponemos utilizar un nuevo concepto, llamado "Ciclo Autonómico de Tareas de Análitica del Aprendizaje", que define un conjunto de tareas de LA, cuyo objetivo común es lograr una mejora en el proceso bajo estudio. En este artículo se desarrolla el "Ciclo Autonómico de Tareas LA" para analizar la deserción estudiantil en las instituciones de educación a distancia. Para ello, utilizamos una metodología de inteligencia de negocios con el fin de desarrollar dicho ciclo para el análisis de la deserción en el aprendizaje a distancia. El Ciclo Autonómico identifica factores que influyen en la decisión del estudiante de abandonar sus estudios universitarios, predice los estudiantes potencialmente susceptibles a desertar, y define un patrón de motivación para estos estudiantes.

Currently, the relevance of the study is due to external global challenges, which include COVID-19 pandemic, which provoked an emergency in a number of countries. Assessment of the psychological state of participants in the educational process and its normalization can help to minimize the decline in the quality of education. The purpose of this study is to identify the possibility of organizing a high-quality distance learning process by identifying negative factors and leveling their impact during emergency situations and situations close to them. The study identifiedinternal and external factors affecting the psychological state of teachers. The correlation between the harmony of the teacher's personality and successful labor activity has been substantiated. In the course of the work, the problem of changing the technical equipment of participants in the educational process during an emergency and close to it was revealed. As a result of the research, the author came to a well-grounded conclusion that the psychological state of the participants in the learning processhas a significant impact on the educational process when organizing distance learning. The most significant in this regard is the psychoemotional state of the teacher as the organizer of the process and mentor. The article provides a number of recommendations for leveling the destabilizing factors that have a negative impact on the psychological state of the participants in the learning process and affect its quality.
