Technical prerequisites from the perspective of teachers and students

The successful implementation of online and hybrid teaching in higher education depends on the alignment of technical, organisational and pedagogical prerequisites, as well as on understanding the different perspectives of teachers and students. Teachers need stable and functional tools, the training to use them effectively and the support of professional services that will facilitate their planning and implementation of teaching in a digital environment. On the other hand, students need to be provided with minimal technical conditions for following the teaching, including reliable connectivity, access to platforms and devices that enable participation in all activities.

It is crucial to ensure a balance between available resources and the real needs of the academic community. This includes developing virtual infrastructure, ensuring digital accessibility and fostering inclusivity, so that all students have equal opportunities to participate in the educational process. Continuous monitoring and adaptation of teaching according to feedback are necessary to maintain quality and relevance.

Since financial constraints often pose a challenge, especially for the student population, institutions must strive to find sustainable solutions that can support the largest number of users with the same investment. Only with an integrated approach is it possible to build a digital educational environment that is high-quality, equitable and accessible to all.
