Using Mobile-Learning at Transilvania University in the Pandemic and Post-pandemic

Abstract

Speeded by the pandemic virus conditions, universities and colleges adapted their education to new distance forms. Therefore, higher education faculties were able to consider the opportunity to expand their learning possibilities with mobile learning. They encouraged students to learn, to research, collaborate, and share ideas among them with the aid of internet and technology development. The aim of this paper is to present students and educators’ attitudes and efforts towards the use of M-learning in diverse domains of higher education, pointing out the established benefits and problems. As M-learning implies server updates, new contracts for speed internet and hiring more IT specialists in order to identify the existing strengths and weaknesses and to facilitate the development of the technology infrastructure, we present the case of online teaching in the departments of Transilvania University. We want to have an overview of the two years of teaching online during pandemics and the impact it had on the students.
