Abstract:

During the pandemic, worldwide Higher Education Institutions forced their teachers to abandon the F2F lesson to adopt an online approach. Most of the institutions provided special courses to support their teachers during this radical change that, especially in no-informatic departments, meant to shift dramatically from direct interaction in classes to one-to-computer screen lessons. Researches after the pandemic show positive feedback from the professors and students: in HEI the shift was not dramatic as it was for primary or secondary schools. Now that the emergency period is over, do professors still feel the need to be trained for providing online lessons in a really effective way? To answer this question the Erasmus+ SOULSS project partnership distributed during the academic year 2022-23 a survey to explore the attitude and the self-evaluation of professors belonging to universities in several European countries like Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Spain, and Portugal. The total number of answers and the span in geographical terms allow us to give some conclusions about the past-pandemic attitude among professors about training on digital learning.
