Aim of the research was to improve effectiveness of university education. With the use of new digital tools the learning processes in many different disciplines have been enhanced. However, the traditional class room training can hardly be replaced entirely as the students’ motivation drops with less direct interaction with the instructor. Hence small private online courses are more successful than massive online education. The authors have developed a sophisticated flipped classroom learning approach incorporating various digital tools ranging from different kinds of videos to a class response system combined with class room lectures. The case of the course introduction to management accounting at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin is been presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the flipped classroom concept. An empirical analysis confirms that the students’ acceptance is highest if various methods of teaching are been applied. In particular relying on digital tools only is seen as ineffective and of less value. Eventually, based on the analysis and classroom observations improvement opportunities have been derived in order to further increase the learning performance.

Digital technologies are rapidly changing the process of education. Online courses have become a common tool of gaining knowledge outside the university. Multimedia education, penetrating traditional educational institutions (schools, colleges, and universities), changes the structure of education and brings new elements to the communications during the educational process. This article considers one level of change in the model of education. On the one hand, there are advantages associated with the democratization of education. At the time of their foundation, universities were the creators of new elites – scientific and educational meanwhile, in the twenty-first century, the process of democratization and the accessibility of university education has been linked to the digitalization. On the other hand, territorial and other restrictions have been lifted. And this is a very controversial process that poses many challenges for students, one of the most noticeable of which is the lack of real contact with the teacher and the transformation of the educational process into an ”educational conveyor belt.” At the same time, personal contact with the teacher is becoming more expensive. The authors have collected studies that examine the dynamics of this emerging stratification of education. Based on the work of the pioneers in the study of digital education, the authors develop their ideas, focusing on the formation of the modern models of education, defined as affordable electronic and elite traditional.

<p>The Arctic is a vast, sparsely populated area. The demographic situation points to online distance education as a solution to support lifelong learning and to build competence in the region. An overall aim of all university education is what Hans Georg Gadamer calls Bildung, what we in Norwegian call dannelse and what Richard Rorty has called edification. A first problem to be addressed here is that in online distance learning some teachers find that is harder to support the development of the student’s voice. Being able to express oneself and to position oneself in a scientific community is vital for a well educated graduate. Another problem in online education has been the extensive use of writing as a means in the student’s learning process. Writing is vital to academic education, but in online courses there is in general a danger of overuse. At the University of Tromsø we have tested the web conference tool Elluminate Live. This is a real-time application, integrated in the University’s learning management system (LMS), Fronter. The application enables synchronous oral dialogue, simultaneous sharing of texts, and so forth. I present our main experience with the use of Elluminate Live and discuss the extent to which this application has turned out to be helpful in developing the quality of online courses.</p>

The transition to online education, despite many organizational, technical, legal, and ethical issues debated in society, has occurred. In special periods of time, the availability of distance education technologies becomes critical, as it is now during the recognition of the spread of coronovirus as a pandemic. Given the severity of the issue, the university administration and the pedagogical community have to solve a number of issues for the development of online courses and the design of an individual educational trajectory for each student as soon as possible. There are done the practical results and presented the problems concerning the digital educational resources creation and implementation in the oil and gas university education regarding the authors’ experience. Combining the efforts of oil and gas universities is one of the effective ways to create a single educational space of high-quality digital content, in which all stakeholders are interested (students, employers, universities and government agencies).

Fortunately, the forced change to online education required by the pandemic situation did not caught the University of Szeged completely unprepared. Our institution has a long tradition of using electronic teaching materials in various projects and situations. One of the most important tool is the SZTE Repository of Educational Resources, operated by the Klebelsberg Library, which stores almost 4,500 electronic learning material and it has more than 1 million downloads. In the first part of our study, we show our experiences gained during the development and running of the database. In the second part, we would like to talk about the development of an online education platform (https://edu.ek.szte.hu). It has launched last year and we presented here our first e-learning course, ‘Introduction to library and information science’. This course was previously held-in-person by the library staff to hundreds of students per semester at the university as a general education course. Redesigning the course took several months. During this time, we had to face several technical and education-related issues and questions which gave us the experience and the necessary knowledge about the methods of switching from classroom teaching to online courses.

The Impact

Following the World Health Organization’s announcement of the global pandemic because of the Coronavirus Disease 2019, most Canadian universities transitioned to offering their courses exclusively online. One group affected by this transition was students with disabilities. Previous research has shown that the university experience for students with disabilities differs from those of their non-disabled peers. However, their unique needs are often not taken into consideration. As a result, students can become marginalized and alienated from the online classroom. In partnership with Student Accessibility Services, this research revealed the impact of the transition to online learning because of the pandemic for university students with disabilities. Students registered with Student Accessibility Services completed a survey about the effects of online learning during a pandemic on the students’ lives, education, and instructional and accommodation. It was clear from the results that online education during COVID-19 affected all aspects of the students’ lives, particularly to their mental health. This research provided a much-needed opportunity for students with disabilities to share the factors influencing their educational experience and identified recommendations instructors should consider when developing online courses to increase accessibility and improve engagement.

Nowadays University education is usually eminently expositive, being necessary to change this approach to achieve greater dynamism and motivation. This article describes a project whose objective is to integrate the Flipped Classroom methodology into University music education through the use of technological applications to make and manage videos. The document describes the methodology of the project and the ICT tools used in it. University students have answered two different questionnaires, before and after the project. Their analysis provides information on the initial experience and perception of students in ICT and the Flipped Classroom approach and examines the usefulness of the tools used to carry out this methodology. The data provided by the students show that the technological resources used have favoured the autonomy, the continuous work, the motivation of the students and the deepening in the contents of the subjects. The benefit of these ICT for the implementation of the Flipped Classroom approach is highlighted, being valued as an active methodology that optimizes the University educative process.

The article describes the state of online learning at Voronezh State University and presents general information about its main components, such as e- library resources, electronic system for education process management, and  the university’s online courses. Since 2001 the University is a participant of  the scientific and technological program “Creation of the open education  system in the Russian Federation”. Within the framework of this program an  informational and educational portal Voronezh. OpeNet.ru − “Voronezh  virtual university” has been established, which is a part of the mega-portal of the Russian informational and educational environment of open education  (www.OpeNet.ru). In 2007 the University has started the work for  implementation of network education based on LMS Moodle. Online education is being realized on three levels: e-library resources,  organization of educational process (“Electronic University”), and online  courses (distant courses, university online courses, and open online courses).  Distant courses include 59 courses on ecology and learning  foreign languages worked out in the framework of Tempus project. At  present Voronezh State University is developing its own open online courses  (MOOC) using the experience of Tomsk State University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. The implementation of online learning makes it  possible to realize two main principles of modern education − “education for  everybody” and “lifelong education”.
