Assessment of Online Learning Effectiveness by Students of Engineering and IT Degree Programs

Abstract

In 2020, traditional education will face a struggle in replacing full-time education with distance teaching and learning. The findings of a study on the effectiveness of distance teaching and learning are presented in this article. The article's content is based on research conducted at the St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI.” The primary focus of the study was on full-time students of bachelor's and master's engineering and IT degree programs of the university. The results of a survey of students' satisfaction with distance learning in 2020 are described in this article. The survey's main finding is a firm determination of the most successful techniques of teaching theoretical content and practical classes over the internet. The usefulness of several remote learning monitoring strategies is also examined. The results of a comparison of senior and junior students' perceptions of distance learning practice are also presented in the paper.
