In my opinion it affected badly because most students don't study they just prepare for cheating and they are not listening to their online teaching classes. In finance way, many parents are now out of job or they got lower salaries so students are in struggle of paying their tuition fee. I am glad and thankful to my faculty because it gave the opportunity to those students who may need help and it has great management because we already did midterm exams while some state faculties didn't have any classes yet.

The COVID-19 has made a significant impact on the education sector. Before the pandemic, only a small number of universities had developed the online education system. When the pandemic hit the world, those universities weren't in the problem since they transitioned smoothly from real classrooms to the digital ones. But, on the other side, the traditional brick-and-mortar universities and schools have got in trouble. They were forced to implement online education system, to satisfy the student's needs and not to leave them worse off. Not all universities and schools succeeded (for example, some professors don't hold online lectures; they only send the presentations via email, and that's it). The problem is also in examinations, where some universities can hold the exams via the internet, and others are postponing them (making it harder for students to learn and pass the subjects).

For students, online education was an entirely new thing. In my opinion, students are not worse off in this situation, since we got many benefits. Online learning is time and cost-effective since students don't need to travel every day and spend their money and time. But, they are losing direct contact with the teachers, and the cost of that is lower concentration.

Students satisfaction depends on the student's field of study. For example, students of medicine and biology don't like this way since they are unable to have practice lectures in labs. Still, for students of IT or management, this is almost the same way as in the real classroom.

I believe that teachers play an essential role in online education, and also in student satisfaction. By this, I mean precisely on making lectures more interactive and entertaining. If they, for example, only open the presentation, and talk, without any discussion, many of the students will go and use social networks or do something else (teacher cannot see them as in a real classroom). But, if teachers are creative in the way of presenting, making students interested, asking them questions, students will feel respected, they will follow the lecture, and their overall satisfaction will increase.

The pandemic and online education will also make an impact on local economies, since students are at their homes, not spending their money on bus tickets, not paying a flat or dorms, and all other services they usually would use if they were physically present.

Just before the pandemic,I personally was thinking the how unnecessary of the traditional school system in the 21. century. With these disaster we have had an opportunity of experiencing the online education system which is easier for a lot of students and the professors according to some surveys I have seen.

The biggest benefit of the online education is the time saving,and the biggest weakness of it that emotionally or psychologically as a student at the least,you cannot feel like you do in the classroom and cannot focus on the lessons 100 percent because of the comfort that the house is giving you,but it does not mean that you cannot learn.

On the other hand traditional school system giving job for other people in the building such as for cleaners or etc. but if there is building,there is no job for them also which is a big percentage of the people would be unemployed.

If a person really want to learn,he-she can do it in any ways either in traditional or online way. I personally do not believe of the sincerity of the people who says that they cannot learn anything on online system. Yes,first times it is hard for everyone to change their habits,which includes every kind of habit,after a while,as I just said,if you want to really learn,you can do it anyway,anytime,anywhere.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide. In my opinion it will affect bad. Schools around the country have closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. I think the lessons we’ve learned are that it’s good [for school districts] to have a backup system, if they can afford it. Most of our big systems don’t have this sort of backup. Now, however, we’re not only going to have to construct a backup to get through this crisis, but we’re going to have to develop new, permanent systems, redesigned to meet the needs which have been so glaringly exposed in this crisis. Some universities were rapidly digitized, and fight very good against crisis, but there are public universities that are mostly closed because lot of old professor don't know basic of technology even it is 21. century. Even universities have digitized, in my personally opinion I don't think they can learn students in the same amount as in the classroom. Lot of students are not even listening, they just mute professor and do some another things. The worse is cheating on exams, they don't study at all but make good grades and those that study feel bad because they tried their best but some student that cheated on exam have a better grade at the end. I think that professors play a huge role during online lessons. By this, I mean they should entertain more students and make lessons more interesting because attention drops quickly as does motivation

About benefits and disadvantage online education, this link provide organized discussion. As benefit, for instance, it helps to improve self technological skills. https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/online-learning/distance/advantages-and-disadvantages-online-courses.html

In my opinion the covid19 changed our life. The bad side is that we can not go to university, but in our university is good that we can follow online lectures and we had midterm exams without any problem, some universities are not able to have online lectures. Most of families can not work now and it is the bad side that family can not pay the fees for the education. I think this online letures are good from one side we are living in period of technology, after years we will start working from home and students have a good attandance, but I prefer face-to-face lectures in our class.

The crisis put every educational institution into some kind of challenge position. They started using new technology and they adjusted their curiculums to this envirnoment. It is obvius that today we have hundreds and hundreds online educations and webinars (non-formal education), like never before. But if we want to focus our discussion to the formal education, I can say that the best transition had faculties because its students are the oldest one and they take this type of learning and online tasks seriously, for difference from secondary or elementary school students. It is too early to talk about efficacy of online learning, because we will have first „online grades“ at the end of June. Before pandemic, demand for distance learning was rising, and from my point of view, this period can be described like learning revolution, because educational institutions had opporutnity to see their limits and I hope they will extent their work in future, after pandemic is over.

It has brought a massive shift in education sector. Initially there were no classes but as the lockdown moved ahead most of the schools and colleges started the virtual classes by means of Google meet or some other software. For the time being it is serving the purpose but students are missing the actual face to face class.

COVID-19 exposed education to serious regressions but proactive governments need to strategize on the way forward.

We all know that COVID-19 epidemic has a seriously affected the education of our children throughout the world. However, some of the schools, colleges, and universities have started the online education system for the larger benefit of the students.

Firstly, before we start criticizing online education, we have to keep in mind that everything related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic happened really fast, so many countries did not have enough time to create plans for specific sectors, especially the education sector. Everything related to education had to be switched online so students do not lose their academic years. Even though, this pandemic showed us that online education had some limitations, I think it did a good job.

The benefits are that students can educate themselves from home, especially in specific and dangerous situations like the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Students had all materials available on platforms like Moodle and some of them were able to conclude their examinations in time. Also, students had a chance to be connected with their teachers, so whenever they had some problems or questions, they could easily contact their teacher via e-mail or create a meeting with him on platforms like Zoom or Google Hangouts.

Online education also has some limitations. Many students who had issues with their internet connection could not follow the lectures properly, which can produce a problem for upcoming exams. Also, many professors had difficulties when it comes to reducing suspicious activities like cheating. I think that the biggest problem is the fact that some universities did not have online lessons, because their professors were not prepared enough for giving these kinds of lessons.

I think that many students have positive opinion about online lessons, because, as I mentioned before, they won't lose their academic year and they can finish their obligations on time from home. I also think that their parents are happy with online lessons, because their kids can learn and finish everything on time safely from home, without having to go out in a risky period like this pandemic is.

After everything related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is finished, universities will return to the traditional way of teaching. But, universities need to know that in situations like these, they have a plan B and that is online education. Before a new academic year starts, universities should also prepare special curricula for all subjects in case some unexpected situations like this pandemic occur again. This pandemic showed us what limitations does online education has and after the pandemic is over, we can use the time to fix those limitations and to prepare the educational systems for all kinds of situations that can occur.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a huge impact on education sector.Everything happened really guickly and unexpectedly,but professors on our university coped wery well in this pandemic situation.

Online education has its good sides,it shows us how much technology has actually developed today,and how advanced our university is compared to others.

Personally,I am satisfied and grateful for online classes that the university provides us,because in that way we will not lose the academic year.

It also has its drawbacks,some students cannot attend lectures due to poor internet connection.This way of education gives us more freedom,so we can chose wheter to actually listen to the online lectures or not.The point is,who does not want to follow lectures,will not follow them in face to face communication.Also,I have the same opinion when it comes to cheating,who wants to cheat,will try to cheat on the exams in the classroom.It’s all a matter of choice.

Considering how suddenly distance learning happened to us, I can say that I am very satisfied with the speed, seriousness and responsibility with which we got used to the new way of working. Online teaching as a kind of teaching has many positive characteristics.The fact that we are in the time of a global pandemic whose outcome is very difficult to predict, obliges us to take online teaching very seriously. Students should acquire additional habits of self-discipline and regular monitoring of online content in virtual classrooms. They must regularly fulfill the tasks and take care to send the product of their work to the teacher in a timely manner, so that he can evaluate it.

Due to the corona virus, the complete education system was put to the test.For the first time, we found ourselves in a situation where every form of education has to be held online. I can say that I am positively surprised by the way this type of class works, which I cannot claim for everyone. Online teaching has many downsides like easy loss of concentration, but also positive ones such as easier accessibility and higher attendance. The biggest obstacle in holding this type of teaching is that a large number of people do not have the necessary technology, such as laptop, internet, phone,... Not only are students unable to access classes due to financial and technical problems, but many universities have not been able to establish and organize an online education system.

Precisely for these reasons, I think that the traditional will not disappear and that the transfer of knowledge in the traditional way is much more efficient. I am sure that for some universities this situation will help a lot in the future because they will be able to use online teaching as an improvement, but also as a relief to the current traditional system.

While the education sector has been improving and modernizing over the years, it never had a severe need to make radical changes and to experiment with the ways education can be achieved.

I think that we will see some changes regarding brick-and-mortar universities. First of all, until COVID-19 is put under control, most students will choose universities that are close to them. So, for example, student living in Virginia probably select a university in Virginia (UVA, VT), instead of a university that is further away (Harvard, MIT). This is especially true if that university is another country. So a student in Bosnia could prefer going to Harvard, but thanks to COVID-19, he will choose IBU because it is closer to home. Local universities and colleges, that really on the local population as a majority of its student body will suffer a decrease in revenue, but will most likely survive. Also, major universities like Harvard and MIT will survive thanks to its substantial revenues they get from donations. But we will see some universities shut down, thanks to the lack of student body. 21.2% of undergraduate students at Harvard University come from outside of the US. That means that 1/5 of the total revenue coming from international students will not appear. And there is also the fact that students living outside of Massachusist could also choose universities closer to home. So, while most brick-and-mortar universities will survive, they will take significant losses. And depending on the length of this epidemic, we might see a good number of universities shuting down because they do not have enough money to survive.

I think that we will see an increase and higher acceptance of online education. I do not believe that we will see a large scale switch in online education just because of this pandemic. A distinct advantage of online education is that you can follow the lectured from home. That means that a student living in Virginia can follow the classes in real-time from a university in California. This also means that students that are sick or are unable to come to the university physically can still follow the lectures. This could also allow students to attend lectures for universities in different countries. Another benefit is that online education could be cheaper in the long-term. If lectures are moved online, then less space is needed. That means that universities need less land, which means less money spent on maintenance. While it might be expensive in the short-run to buy all the necessary equipment and to train teachers on how to do online classes properly, in long-term universities could save money. But there are also disadvantages, with the biggest one being the lack of human touch. Humans are social beings, and we require to be in contact with different people in order not to feel lonely. Going directly to class gives people a routine and allows them to interact with people in a way that online courses can not. Another problem is the fact that not everything can be done online. For example, medical and chemistry students need labs to practice and do experiments.

I think that transition is going to be rough either way. It is not easy to move from classroom lectures to online ones, especially if it happens overnight, as it did for some universities. It will primarily be hard for specializations that require on-campus practice, like labs, etc. In regards to what a professor can do, it is to try and adapt courses in a way to do them online, listen to student feedback, and not be afraid to experiment.

There will be no unique student opinion. Students will naturally react differently. I believe that response will be similar to right now. There will be those who prefer having lectures in classrooms, while others prefer the flexibility that online lectures offer. Something that will change is the way people choose universities which they plan on attending. In the end, universities will have to adapt to this new mindset of students.

Just like students, parents will not have one mutual response. A benefit for them will be the fact that their child is home with them. I do not believe that many parents are happy that their child is going to live alone far away. But, it will also create a negative sentiment. They probably will not be satisfied with the fact that their children are not getting on-site lectures, and might start questioning the price tag of the university. Paying $50,000 yearly in tuition fees is different when you get to attend Harvard, and when you have to follow lectures from home. Again, this will primarily be relevant when it comes to areas such as medicine and chemistry, those that require lab practices on campus.

In the end, COVID-19 will result in a lot of drastic changes in the education system, and experiments on how education should be done correctly.

I believe that the epidemic has greatly affected all sectors, including education.We are witnessing the difference between online and normal teaching education in college.I think that students relaxed too much and that will affect on the results of exams.Online lecture at Burch are more detail and better than lectures at other state faculties, and some students will have to do all the exams in one semester.Another drawback is the internet connection, because no one can guarantee that our sound will be good at all times.I would mention that students will not be late for lectures and doesn't have to worry about transportation.Professors try their best to make online lectures the same as face-to-face lectures. My opinion is that traditional lectures should be introduced as soon as possible because it will better for students and also for professors,because everyone abituate on it, we have been educated like that all our lives, but it is not bad to have experience with online lectures.

I think this whole situation with the corona virus has had both a positive and a negative impact on education.

The students of our faculty did not feel much change as we continued to work as if nothing had happened.

It was a little different for some students at first, but we all got used to it very quickly. I would also like to say that all the professors made an effort, as always, to make the students understand the material.

In my opinion, it wasn’t a big change because during my high school years I also had the opportunity to follow classes online. The online week was held in the semester for one week, and for the students that week was like a small break. We had more time to learn and have fun because we didn’t have to spend time traveling to school.

Of course, not all educational institutions had such a well-developed online teaching system as our faculty. This is where the negative characteristics of Covid-19 come to the fore. Some colleges took longer to set up online lectures and exams.

Students at some colleges only got presentations in the mail, and I think that was a little harder for them. They also had problems postponing exams because they could not set up an online system.

Let’s not forget to mention that our state is one of the less affluent countries, so many students (mostly elementary and high school kids) had trouble teaching because they didn’t have a computer or laptop from which to access subjects.

As for our Department of Management, I don’t think they are harmed in any way, most of them are theoretical subjects and can be mastered in the same way through online lectures or in the classroom. As for the subjects that included assignments, the professors made sure that the students understood everything.

So, that change came in handy for me, it even made it easier for me, and I had more time for private commitments.

I think that opinions about online education depend on person to person and also depend on university to university. The pandemic of COVID-19 happened really fast and most of the universities had to act quickly so maybe some of them made the wrong decisions about using some platform that is not best suited for this kind of purpose.

Our university did everything very well in my opinion but not everyone has the same fortune as us. I know many people that didn't have one online class. Instead of that, they got their materials online and they are left to learn everything alone or find some source that will help them with materials they got. Also, some students have very big disadvantage because they have to do all their exams at the end of the year and that is very difficult for anyone because you have to learn materials from the whole year and know everything in that 2-3 hours you are doing an exam from that particular course.

One drawback that is very noticeable is the problem of cheating. It is very hard for professors to find an efficient way to prevent cheating. Some professors noticed this because the oscillations of grades from some students are very big.

Online education also has benefits. I think it was a lot easier for us to do everything we had to do from our home even though that some people, including myself, are not that motivated when we are not going to the university. Also, I think that our professors gave enough attention to us and most of them are always there to answer our emails or even organize some additional meetings with them.

This pandemic gave us a full picture of capabilities of our education system and I think that many universities and schools should make sure that if something like this happens again that they should be ready to act quickly.

Unfortunately, it has already hit educational institutions hard. All schools, colleges, educational centers, etc., that failed to adapt their work system to the current unfortunate situation were severely affected by the COVID-19 virus. In addition to the fact that many were fired and that part of the staff remained unemployed, students were left deprived of classes, internships and labs. Many students already know in advance that they will have to repeat their academic year, and those who have yet to become students in 90% of situations do not even have information about their admissions, which I personally consider as an absurd. In our country, education is certainly among the top 5 most important things, which unfortunately is by no means considered a priority.

The current pandemic has impacted educational systems worldwide, resulting in near-total closure of schools, and colleges. According to UNICEF monitoring, about 98.5 percent of the world's student population are affected by this. The closure of schools has not only impacted students, teachers, and families. but have far-reaching economic consequences. Students and, in many cases, their families still have to continue to bear the costs associated with their higher education, which is especially hard since a lot of families are experiencing rough times and may even be out of jobs. A lot of students know that, there is a difference in quality of education between the virtual and in-person experience, and are wanting compensation for the difference in value. They believe that the education they are receiving right now is subpar and are at a loss of the opportunities and support a college campus provides, like networking and access to labs and facilities. We need to acknowledge that most universities have made the effort to continue providing education, and teachers are working really hard to make it an easy transition. But we also need to be realistic, that this has affected students greatly and online school cannot be compared to the real thing. Most of us feel that we are not learning as much and I think that a lot of people look past the problem, that going to school structures a lot of our daily routine. For many people, this also provides a significant source of identity. Moreover, it provides a social network, and critically, a predictable routine and since now our routine is no longer available most people have to work hard to cope with this loss and are feeling demotivated and dejected.

The current coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (causing Covid-19 disease) pandemic has had a major impact on the education sector. In order to slow down the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic in many countries, as part of the systemic instruments for anti-pandemic and sanitary safety, didactic classes conducted in schools and colleges have been changed into classes conducted remotely, in the e-learning formula online. In some countries, in the period March - May or even until June 2020, full-time didactic classes in schools and colleges have been replaced by e-learning. Due to the suspension of stationary didactic classes in schools and colleges, classes are conducted remotely through various new online media, platforms enabling video conferencing (ZOOM, Ms Teams, Google Teems, ...) instant messengers (Skype) etc. Therefore the load on internet networks and e-learning platforms has increased significantly. Some Internet service providers and cellular network operators have increased their internet data transfer bandwidth parameters. However, it happens that in some universities the IT infrastructure was prepared for such big changes in the scope of digitization and computerization of the whole didactic process. In addition, it happens that individual universities use different IT systems, other online platforms, there is a lack of full standardization in terms of technical characteristics of individual computerized e-learning platforms. The current pandemic has accelerated the digitization of teaching processes. E-Learning in some schools and colleges was already conducted before the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus (causing Covid-19 disease) pandemic. However, in previous years only part of the didactic classes and only in some schools and colleges were conducted in a remote form as part of online e-learning. Currently, e-learning has become more widespread and has become a standard in many countries. In my opinion, however, this is a temporary situation. When the pandemic expires, there should be a return to conducting classes in the traditional, stationary form, at least in most of the didactic classes. If in the future there will be more and more frequent new threats that are negative effects of the development of civilization similar to the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus, then the virtual class model may increase its significance and participation in the context of the entire didactic processes implemented. Technological progress in the field of ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0 information technology applications allows for a gradual increase in the digitization of teaching processes. Therefore, the possibilities of conducting and improving didactic processes in the online e-learning formula are constantly growing. Therefore, currently, teachers are looking for answers to the following research questions: Is currently one of the key problems in the development of education is to suspend stationary didactic classes in schools and colleges and replace these classes with e-learning? Are the didactic processes carried out in a limited or full scope due to the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease? How long can such a situation last that all education is implemented remotely through various new internet media? How will the current state of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic affect learning outcomes? There are many questions that will be answered in the future. In the field of remote teaching and necessary system changes, improvement of IT and internet infrastructure in schools and in the homes of users, students, etc. there are many interesting issues that can and are currently being studied. In view of the above, the current SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in significant changes in the teaching process in schools and colleges. Colleges before the pandemic, in previous years developed online remote communication systems, computerized didactic process administration systems, digitized library resources, e-learning platforms enabling the sending of didactic materials by lecturers, teachers for students, remote conducting of seminars, project works, etc.
