Abstract
Covid-19 has created new challenges globally. A number of restrictions have forced students and professors to switch remotely and adjust to new rules. Surveys that were conducted by research centers showed a rather positive attitude towards distance learning. However, forced social distance, had a major impact on respondents’ responses during the Covid Pandemic. The purpose of this paper is to make a comparative analysis of views of professors and students about remote learning during the pandemic period. Students and professors, of Georgian universities from different regions, participated in the study. Data obtained from the study were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the research, the following issues were highlighted: - Comparative analysis of students’ and professors’ attitude towards distance learning; - Identifying advantages and disadvantages of distance learning from the point of view of students and professors; - Determining the preferred mode of study (distance, direct, mixed) by students and professors. (Comparative analysis in the regional context); - Identification of the most frequently used digital communication services by students and professors; After analyzing above-mentioned issues, the article provides conclusions and recommendations that will help us to address the challenges we have identified.
