Abstract

Remote education implemented in times of crisis, introduced suddenly, without prior preparation of academic teachers and universities, was a new and often challenging experience for all lecturers. The need to use own equipment, home internet access and the lack of time to prepare the classes adequately to the technical and content-related requirements of remote didactics made the quality of education depend on the competence and creativity of individual lecturers. The teaching process was also hindered by the lack of readiness of students to start learning remotely. The experience of remote learning, which came about due to the crisis, led to academic university teachers' participation in a mode of teaching that had previously only accounted for a small percentage of the didactic activity of the universities. In this article, the presented analyses aimed to learn about and compare the experiences related to crisis remote education gained by academic teachers from two universities, Polish and Ukrainian.

Keywords: crisis remote education, e-learning, academic teachers, preparedness to online teaching, COVID-19
