Hipermedijska sfera i virtualne učionice
Hypermedia Sphere and Virtual Classrooms

Summary/Abstract: The most recognizable media in hypermedia society is – technology. New technologies and irreversible digitalization of society lead to greater mediation within all social relations. In culture of real virtuality it is technology that made possible the existence of virtual classrooms (or classrooms without walls, as Giddens notices), intermediation through technology in knowledge transfer, digital platforms as meeting points, and finally, existence of electronic universities. Innovative technologies have already immensely influenced education processes, which imply different trials of knowledge transfer and the education itself. Education is action, process and result; a question therefore arises about types of changes brought by new technologies that take away directness, in the situation where online communication, which is mediated communication, is the only choice. First contours of this paper and impulses for the reflection were drawn from essay of Giorgio Agamben Requiem for the Students (2020) that appeared in the peak of pandemic, a warning text pointing out some new processes not only in education, but in the whole society of our time.
