Abstract:

New digital technologies have been integrated, to some extent, into the education system. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sudden and strong expansion of educational institutions followed by great digital infrastructure investments in order to achieve the educational goals. In this sense, the experience of students, teachers and educational managers have contributed significantly to the further development and modernization of the educational process.
In this article, we intend to identify and analyse several aspects from the perspective of the role played by digital technologies and the Internet in the teaching-learning process during the pandemic.

Therefore, in order to answer the research questions, 182 Romanian students from several universities with different study profiles were interviewed. Thus, in this article, we aimed to emphasize both the benefits of digital technologies for students and the problems that they faced in the online learning environment.

In the end, on the basis of the results obtained it is concluded that the students exploited the benefits of digital technologies during the online courses in order to meet their learning objectives and developed a range of skills.
