Video Lessons and E-learning Can Overcome Ban of Face-to-face Lessons in Teaching Mathematics

Abstract

A pandemic situation connected with a spread of COVID-19 has significantly changed methods of teaching at universities. Previously unimaginable ban on face-to-face teaching has become a reality overnight. At best, a number of students present in a class was significantly limited, at worst, face-to-face lessons were completely banned. Naturally, there was a danger of significant decrease of student’s knowledge. The paper deals with efficient utilization of e-learning in teaching Combinatorics and Data Processing at the Facuity of Education, Tmava University. We compare two different methods of learning: blended learning and e-learning. The results of the experiment prove that the ban of face-to-face lessons does not automatically mean the decrease of student’s knowledge. Thus, e-learning has potential to overcome problems associated with COVID-19 pandemic situation at universities.
