Abstract:

The current security situation around the world is marked viral disease COVID 19 and the Czech Republic is no exception. This viral disease has changed and limited the normal life of the population. The prevention of the spread of the disease also directly affected education, which led to the introduction of distance learning at all levels of education. The transition from full-time to distance learning has become very challenging in various respects. From selecting a suitable communication tool to an online exam period. Currently, distance learning is provided through online support, where we can include SKYPE, Microsoft Teams, Google MEET, etc.

The current situation has led universities to a new style of teaching, which in some way has affected education itself. Responding to change and adapting to the current situation, some universities managed better and some worse. In essence, in modern history, it was not necessary to address the distance form of teaching to such an extent. And therefore, it is good to realize the positive point this time has brought - the transition from full-time to distance form will no longer be a problem, thanks to the current experience. The approaches of individual universities differ, and yet it is possible to look for inspiration in them that would help ensure a high-quality distance learning form.

The aim of the article is to present the results of the analysis of various approaches of universities to distance learning, which could contribute to the improvement of distance learning in security disciplines. To assess the possibility of using distance learning at VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, the Faculty of Safety Engineering, a description and empirics from the teaching of the academic year of subjects focused on safety will be used. The results of the research will lead to their application in professional subjects such as Emergency Planning and Crisis Management. This will lead to improved teaching of safety disciplines at the Faculty of Safety Engineering.
