Abstract :
The paper deals with the increased
involvement of digital media in the educational process
due to Covid -19 Pandemic. This can be understood in
different ways - a process of finding information or
displaying visible information using various information
diagrams through technological and digital levers.
The article considers the factors of information
retrieval and targeted use of digital media: ways and
satisfaction of students receiving non-formal education;
digital and social media platforms they choose to search
for/share the information they need; how effectively and
consciously they use them; effectiveness of online learning
and student satisfaction with online education, and how
Covid-19 pandemic contributed to the involvement of
digital media in education.
The research was conducted in the Republic of
Georgia. Students and representatives of universities
were interviewed. The findings of the research concluded
that the use of digital media in the educational process is
important to a large part of respondents, because they
believe the knowledge and experience offered by the
universities is not enough to gain practical experience and
that’s why they often use digital media platforms.
The importance of the research topic stems from the
recent changes, when during the Covid-19 pandemic it
became necessary to switch to distance learning, which
completely changed the methods of using digital media in
teaching. On the one hand, the rapid transformation of
the educational environment using digital technologies
has shown the practical importance of distance learning,
but on the other hand, the introduction of distance
learning is accompanied by challenges, including the
scarcity of specific digital skills by implementers and
problems with computer and online resources.
By reading the results, you will have some idea about
formal and non-formal education in Georgia, and the
attitude of respondents (students and HEI
representatives) about the positive and negative sides of
each. The results also show the impact that pandemic
made on the educational process, how the universities
coped with the adopted changes
