THE USE OF E-LEARNING SYSTEMS IN THE FIELD OF TEXTILE ENGINEERING IMPOSED BY THE PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: The rapid closure, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, of university campuses in China and other parts of the world has necessitated the creation and virtual delivery of a large number of courses and hands-on activities. Even if this transition has generated inevitable problems, some due to the first use of this way of working, the question is whether the future will not become just a continuation of the present. 2020 is a special year for education worldwide. The crisis generated by COVID-19 has massively influenced the way of carrying out educational activities in Romanian universities. The closure of the activity on March 11, 2020, had a massive impact on the way of teaching, which was mainly carried out face to face. This paper will present a situation encountered in teaching a technical course, within the Faculty of Industrial Design and Business Management in Iași, respectively the transition from the classic activity to the one carried out online. The authors will describe how the participants in the didactic act have adapted to the new requirements. An effort was needed to adapt teachers and students to the new technology, and adapting a face-to-face course to an online course requires a series of preparation steps. The most important is to restructure the content so that it meets the requirements of a learning management platform, such as Moodle. These steps consisted of fragmenting the content of the courses, creating activities to facilitate asynchronous learning, creating specific content for practical activities and also had to adapt the assessment methods.
