Popis: The corona virus pandemic rapidly changed the world with our everyday life gaining new rules to follow. The world needed to adapt to working from home as well the concept of homeschooling by means of social networks and technology. The state should have sent clear guidelines regarding the manner of teaching and at the same time ensure the smooth running of classes. The acquisition of knowledge was not allowed to stop for students at any moment with them maintaining most of their student rights but in new and changed circumstances. Although online learning has always been present in higher education with the aim of improving the present higher education with the aim of improving the quality of the teaching process, it was never used to this extend. A strong challenge was placed on employees of the education system in order to successfully carry out the transition of teaching into the virtual world. It was necessary to bring awareness to students about the importance of computer applications and social networks in learning in this “new normal”, a phrase we now use to describe life after the discovery of COVID-19 pandemic in the world. It is well known that online learning increases inequality among its participants with main consequences being reduced efficiency in education, quality of transferred knowledge and validation of the knowledge gained through online classes. The primary goal of this paper is the research of the quality of online learning during the pandemic of corona virus and on the observation of its positive and negative aspects. Also, one of the questions in the research was whether we managed to maintain at least a part of the social contact which is important for the mental well-being of young people.
