Possibilities of organizing distance learning during the Covid pandemic

Pojavom pandemije virusa COVID-19, usvojena je Odluka o obustavi izvođenja nastave u visokim učilištima, srednjim i osnovnim školama te redovnog rada ustanova predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja i uspostavi nastave na daljinu (Vlada Republike Hrvatske, 2020) te tom Odlukom počinje nastava na daljinu. Pomoću Akcijskog plana za provedbu nastave na daljinu za školsku godinu 2020./2021, izdanog od strane Ministarstva znanosti i obrazovanja, učitelji zajedno sa učenicima provode nastavu na daljinu. Koristeći se informacijsko-komunikacijskom tehnologijom (IKT) mogućnosti za organiziranje nastave na daljinu postale su višestruke. Učitelji su na raspolaganje dobili popis platformi te slobodu u odabiru istih. Potrebno je bilo odlučiti, slobodnom voljom, uz pomoć koje od ponuđenih platformi žele organizirati nastavu. Predložene platforme za rad od strane Ministarstva znanosti i obrazovanja su: Moodle, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Yammer, Google Classroom i Edmodo. Cilj rada je navesti mogućnosti organiziranja nastave za vrijeme COVID pandemije uz pomoć platformi koje su predložene za rad učiteljima. Organiziranje nastave na daljinu za vrijeme COVID pandemije bio je složen proces koji je došao iznenada i odgojno-obrazovni sustav se brzo trebao organizirati i prilagoditi. Zahvaljujući IKT i digitalizaciji u odgojno-obrazovnom sustavu koja je u Hrvatskoj počela već 2016. godine nastava na daljinu nije bila velika novost. Radom i organizacijom nastave na daljinu svakodnevno zbog lošeg epidemiološkog stanja, nije bilo teško uočiti prednosti i nedostatke u organizaciji i provedbi nastave na daljinu.With the emergence of the COVID-19 virus pandemic, the Decision to suspend teaching in high school, secondary and primary schools and regular work of preschool and education institutions and establish long-distance teaching (Government of the Republic of Croatia, 2020) has been adopted and distance learning begins. With the help of the Action Plan for the implementation of distance learning for the school year 2020/2021, issued by the Ministry of Science and Education, teachers together with students implement distance teaching. Using information and communication technology (ICT) opportunities for organizing distance teaching have become multiple. Teachers were given a list of platforms and freedom to choose them. It was necessary to decide, freely, with the help of which of the offered platforms they wanted to organize classes. The proposed platforms for work by the Ministry of Science and Education are: Moodle, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Yammer, Google Classroom and Edmodo. The aim of this paper is to specify the possibilities of organizing classes during the COVID pandemic with the help of platforms proposed for the work of teachers. Organizing distance teaching during the COVID pandemic was a complex process that came suddenly and the educational system quickly needed to organize. Thanks to ICT and digitalization in the educational system that started in Croatia already in 2016, distance learning was not a big news. By working and organizing distance teaching daily due to poor epidemiological condition, it was not difficult to notice the advantages and disadvantages in the organization and implementation of distance teaching
