The Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on student performance in higher education
ENThe COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions such as universities to move quickly to distance and online learning. Although a significant number of universities practiced this way of learning even before the pandemic, it was a considerable challenge to switch completely to distance learning only. Distance learning is one of the methods that help acquire education independently and ensure lifelong learning: it is easy for teachers to organize training. However, distance learning also requires learner preparation - a certain level of computer literacy. Distance learning can be divided into synchronous and asynchronous. These two words usually mean „simultaneously“ and „not simultaneously“, respectively. These definitions seem to contradict each other, but they often complement each other in the teaching process (Chen et al., 2020). Another important area is e-learning tools that can help learning providers scheduler, execute and track the learning and teaching process. The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on higher education learning outcomes. To achieve this goal, we analyze student learning outcomes before and after isolation.
