Summary/Abstract: This study examines how traditional classroom teaching methods can be transformed in the digital technology environment, building on digital communication and online media in both the classroom and distance learning dimensions. At the end of 2019, a new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), an unprecedented threat, causing a disease called COVID-19, spread worldwide. In March 2020, European governments ordered various restrictive measures to slow the spread of the infection, including school closures. Thus, the importance of online learning and digital pedagogy that defines the methodological framework have become key. Globally, European educational governments have been at different levels of digitalization when, as a result of the pandemic, distance learning was introduced.
