Abstract:

The University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra switched to online education during the first wave of corona crisis in the summer semester of the 2019/2020 academic year. This education went through several developmental stages and we wrote about them in the article: University education during the corona crisis (ICERI, 2020). This paper continues the investigation of the impact of the corona crisis on education at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra. It focuses on the use of new educational tools in the teaching process that were used in the second wave of coronary crisis. We also look at the impact of these educational tools on students and monitor their views on education through new educational tools, which were much more used in the second wave than at the beginning of the pandemic.

In the second wave of corona crises, students, teachers and the university already had more experience and were better prepared for the distant education. The aim of the paper is to describe how teaching took place at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra during the second wave of corona crisis and to highlight the impact of new technologies used in the educational process. The secondary objective was to find out students' satisfaction with the form and content of online teaching during the winter semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. The last partial goal was to find out how the home environment affected the students during online education. To achieve the goals, we used an attitude questionnaire that contained 29 questions. The questionnaire was attended by 369 respondents from across the university. All study years and forms of study at UKF in Nitra were represented in this questionnaire. In addition to the questionnaire, we used the method of observation and interview to verify our goals.
