After the sudden outbreak of the pandemic in late 2019 and early 2020 caused by the appearance of the COVID19 virus, faculties around the world were forced to reorganize and move to online classes as soon as possible, in order to enable students to continue the academic year. The aim of this paper is to point out the basic assumptions of successful online teaching in higher education, which is assumed to continue to exist in some form after the end of the pandemic. The given assumptions will be presented in the form of pointing out the specifics of online teaching, which are significantly related to the success of students in it. It is possible to single out three groups of such specifics: individual specifics of the students themselves, characteristics of online teaching and characteristics of the higher education institution, which are described in more detail in the paper. Such teaching primarily implies adequate preparation of teachers and students in terms of developing appropriate individual competencies. In addition, an important factor of successful online teaching implies the existence of appropriate institutional support at the level of a specific higher education institution in its implementation. The given recommendations can be a good starting point for the implementation and improvement of the quality of online teaching in higher education in our country.
