Recommendations for conducting online and hybrid classes

Higher education institutions should develop lists of recommended digital tools with descriptions of their applications (e.g. communication, collaboration, evaluation, feedback) and clear guidelines for data protection and accessibility. In addition to technical instructions, institutions should also provide pedagogical recommendations on when and why to use a particular tool to increase pedagogical impact. It is also important to evaluate tools according to the criteria of security, support, integration with the (institutional) LMS and accessibility for students with disabilities. Such guides facilitate the adoption of new tools and help in the consistent use of digital solutions at the institutional level. It is always useful to use the CARNET E-laboratory, i.e. the (p)rescription and reviews of digital tools for educational purposes, which is supplemented over the years with new quality content and recommendations for digital tools.
