International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA) (17th, 2020)
The rapid developments in educational technologies and the conditions of pandemic period provoked the academic staff and students for assessing the value of different technologies, new or existing, and for deciding how or when these technologies make sense for them to use. Due to crisis, face-to-face learning process was changed with Emergency Remote Teaching. In this article we approached the case study for university education, on the use of learning platforms, to increase reflective learning, critical reflection and concrete action of students in real life which are clear elements of transformative learning and related to the new educational paradigm -- paragogy (peer-learning). In order to have a significant outcome of our proposed solutions, we proceed in two-steps. Firstly, we detail and test some of the existing e-learning tools (platforms), and secondly, based on a focus-group experience with groups of students enrolled in computer-science Bachelor degree, we propose adapted solutions for online learning and teaching for the next academic year.
