Education Through E-Learning: Case of Serbia

Abstract

Abstract. The objective of this paper is to analyze education through e-learning. The author presents an overview of some recent projects with focus on Serbia and uses their results to discuss advantages of using e-learning as an alternative opportunity and support to "face-to-face" education. From the author's viewpoint, it is believed that online learning will not replace face-to-face learning but still should be offered as a style of learning that suits students needs. Through the research done on this subject, it has been identifi ed that online learning can assist in complementing studies when coupled with faceto-face learning. In addition, the author's fi ndings suggest that without good policy and fi nancial support there is no good interaction between e-learning (classroom learning )or face-to-face learning and e-learning .

Feature of Perception of Distance Learning by Students During the First Wave COVID19

“…Thus, distancing from strangers, random people has led to the fact it is possible to spend more time with family or to avoid being in a workplace where there are many stressors due to forced communication. Even before the COVID19 pandemic, researchers highlighted the benefits of distance learning and viewed it as a promising learning environment for students (Radović Marković, 2009). It is quite popular to consider distancing from the standpoint of cultural theory, when the same requirements for social distancing can be perceived by people in different ways: from acceptance to protest and resistance to restrictions (Davy, 2020).…”

Critical Employment Analysis: Theory, Methodology and Research

“…However, the most significant contribution of online programs particularly to women is having the opportunity to self-pace within a desired time frame (Radovic Markovic 2009 a). Through the online programs, learners can complete projects whether at work, home, or other selected locations.…”

“…More specifically, in our research we were concerned with the past and modern processes of economic and social transformation of women role not only in the developing countries but also in the developed and the countries in transition.
