“…Regarding the number of subjects, as expected in a distance university, most students were only enrolled into two (41.7%) or three (24.8%) subjects, followed by only one subject (12.5%) and four, five or six or more subjects (21.0%), as shown in Table 3. Any recommendation system should take this fact into account, discouraging students from enrolling in too many subjects, specially in their first semesters, when they are still learning to become online learners [23] , and need to evaluate their capabilities. Table 3 also summarizes the number of subjects according to students' demographics.…”

Since the appearance of the web, universities have changed the way education is designed and provided. Nowadays, most universities offer online programmes and subjects, and there are even fully online open/distance universities. Students now have a higher degree of flexibility, which allows them to choose among an endless list of subjects for completing their degree. Although this can be seen as a success of enrollment flexibility measures, it may be also the source of one of the most well-known problems in open education: high dropout rates, partly caused by inadequate enrollment. Students may face an overwhelming amount of information they are not able to sort, or they may even find it insufficient to plan and select subjects strategically. Understanding students' habits when enrolling is important to improve their learning experience. In order to do so, a questionnaire about enrollment habits was sent to students taking a Computer Engineering degree in their first or second semester. Results show that, although the majority of students are quite satisfied with the enrollment process, there is still room for improvement. Surprisingly, tutors' recommendations are not as relevant as institutional web pages as an information source. An exploratory factor analysis shows that the most important factor for students to determine their enrollment is the time they have to study, followed by their experience in previous semesters. Responses to the questionnaire were used to design a preliminary sketch of an interactive web application that addresses students' needs and habits.

“…Despite the growing number of non-traditional adult students in online higher education, little is known about the dynamic processes of adult distance learning, through which adult students struggle to develop their learning ability, to balance their life and study, and to become self-regulated learners -ultimately competent selves and lifelong learners. [7] Gibbs and Simpson (2004) advocate for regular, comprehensive, and detailed feedback as the main interactive component of teaching. They conclude that only immediate and specific feedback provided by instructors enables students to gain control over their learning and monitor their own performance.…”

The article aims to highlight the problems of a Higher education during the period of self-isolation caused by the 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in Russia and describe an analysis of a personal pedagogical experience of the authors. It is noted that despite the technical difficulties appeared at the beginning of a transition to a new learning model by the means of online educational platforms, pedagogical activity during the pandemic was an example of a competent organization of the educational process. The article focuses on the positive aspects of distance learning in terms of improving the skills of independent work using telecommunication technologies and messengers, but nevertheless points out some serious drawbacks of online learning. It is emphasized that the quality of classes conducted in distance way was not reduced due to the creative approach of teachers using classical and media-educational technologies as innovative. The results of a distance educational activity during the pandemic are considered as a preparatory stage of a teaching society to overcome the crisis in education by combination of traditional and distance methods of teaching.

“…Another change is regarding Distance Learning (DL), which has grown in recent years, as well as its credibility. This form of teaching and knowledge exchange reduces costs and optimizes the transport logistics of its students, but on the other hand, is associated with social distance and the use of computational resources ( Gregori et al, 2018 ; Lee et al, 2019 ). Privacy concerns are another issue as 4IR turns every company into a tech company.…”

The global pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, COVID 19, has disrupted the lives of most people on the planet. The magnitude of such disruption can only be compared to those caused by World War II. Experts suggest that in order to better evaluate this situation, it should be divided into two waves. The first wave being associated with health issues and the second one with economic issues. This article suggests that this global pandemic is fostering yet a third wave, which in the long run can be much more impactful in our lives than the first two. This third wave consists on accelerating the implantation process of the fourth industrial revolution. This article is divided into sections with the physical, digital and biological spheres of the fourth industrial revolution, as well as the dimensions of sustainability and other important considerations, in order to better demonstrate the emergence of a new era catalyzed by a virus.
