Why is it important?
In the context of the pandemic generated by COVID-19, the authors tried to investigate the way in which Romanian society has managed to face this challenge in the field of education. The events followed one another very quickly, and the first thing that crashed was the medical system, quickly followed by the economic environment and then, obviously, education. The authors’ research methodology was based on the interpretation of the results of a questionnaire composed of 19 questions and applied to a population of 200 respondents.
Perspectives
In the authors’ opinion, in order to implement a real collaborative platform in a useful way and with complex functionalities at the University of Petros, ani, the following steps must be followed. The university has to recruit and select at least two IT specialists whose only task is to manage the collaborative platform, virtual library and virtual classes. Additionally, it must o er training and must o er support by these specialists for each teacher for uploading courses, for creating the virtual classes, and for the design of the eContent and eTests. This must also include creating profiles for all students and training them with specialists.
