Dear students,

The unforeseen situation forced us to switch from regular classroom lessons to virtual platform with which you all, both the teaching and administrative staff and students, were familiar with, while using some of the tools and techniques of online platform earlier during your lessons and homework completion. As you were also familiar with the methodology of using on-line platform, you quickly got acquainted to all the needed information and started your instant learning in on line platform. The online lessons will go on so long as the restriction will over.

You have been given all the opportunities not to interrupt the learning process: highly qualified teaching staff, technically enhanced operating systems, availability of educational materials and of course system providers.

I am aware, that the online learning process meets your full preferences, meantime we have to realize, that this is the way how the learning processes get changed generally. From now on you will be able to study at any educational institution no matter the location and not changing your location of residence. You are obtaining all the tools and techniques to be able to be part of the transformation. In other words, the above-stated system is very progressive and is going to accompany you throughout your life, even more, all the financial and household functions will soon be carried out in line with virtual methodology.

As we don’t know how long will this extreme situation last, let’s take into consideration of the online learning, and not only for current situation but also after going back to face to face learning processes. Each scholar should draw an individual learning path and show a high degree of self-efficiency in the learning process. The new teaching and learning system has a motivating effect even on the students which have low or middle educational level.

I thank to all and each of you for your time and efforts.
