“…In [17], the authors present how they integrated their methodology into a sustainable educational academic process. Findings on online education during the COVID-19 pandemic published abroad could be applied also in the analysis and evaluation of online and hybrid learning in the corporate sector [18], [19].…”

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the types and forms of continuing vocational education applied in selected Slovak companies and their benefits for employee performance. The basic concepts, i.e. compulsory and voluntary vocational training of employees, obligations of the employer and the employee related to these forms of education are defined in the paper in accordance with the law. Most of the mandatory trainings are intended for all employees of a given employer entity and concern occupational safety and health, first aid, fire protection, as well as trainings focused on regular verification and renewal of employees' skills. Voluntary educational activities are based on the interests and needs of employees. Questionnaire and interview methods were applied in the empirical research. The target number of respondents selected from two divisions of the statistical classification of economic activities in the Slovak Republic was 120. The research results presented in the tables show the types and forms of education/training applied in the analyzed companies, classified by the number of participants, duration and repetitiveness of the training. The research results confirm that mandatory training courses are organized in all the companies surveyed, while voluntary continuing education in these companies is most often conducted as a one-time educational activity of short duration.

E-learning has traditionally emphasised educational resources, web access, student participation, and social interaction. Novel virtual spaces, e-lectures, and digital laboratories have been developed with synchronous or asynchronous practices throughout the migration from face-to-face teaching modes to remote teaching during the pandemic restrictions. This research paper presents a case study concerning the evaluation of the online task assignment of students, using MS Teams as an electronic platform. MS Teams was evaluated to determine whether this communication platform for online lecture delivery and tasks’ assessments could be used to avoid potential problems caused during the teaching process. Students’ data were collected, and after filtering out significant information from the online questionnaires, a statistical analysis, containing a correlation and a reliability analysis, was conducted. The substantial impact of 37 variables was revealed. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient calculation revealed that 89% of the survey questions represented internally consistent and reliable variables, and for the sampling adequacy measure, Bartlett’s test was calculated at 0.816. On the basis of students’ diligence, interaction abilities, and knowledge embedding, two groups of learners were differentiated. The findings of this study shed light on the special features of fully online teaching specifically in terms of improving assessment through digital tools and merit further investigation in virtual and blended teaching spaces, with the goal of extracting outputs that will benefit the educational community.
