No teaching method has evolved as much as distance education, in the state of Amazonas this would not be different, especially in higher education. Distance Education is a modality where the student is separated from the teacher and uses several communication technologies around all his learning. The methods used were bibliographic, documentary and quantitative. The researched environment was the capital city of Manaus and the municipality of Maués, with the application of the closed questionnaire aimed at higher education students. Our objective was to question certain nuances as their benefits and challenges for those who study Distance Education in the different locations of the State of Amazonas. The result was the realization that among its many advantages in the execution of education, time is considered the main one, and the loss of deadlines its greatest disadvantage, besides the concept of distance education is already well known by university students. Thus, it is well known that with the passing of time and with the progress of the state's modernization, distance education is gradually becoming the most practical means of teaching.

The “bring your own device” (BYOD) program is positioned as one of the fastest-emerging methods to solve accessibility problems in the flipped learning methodology. The objective of the study is to analyze the potential of a training plan through inverted learning using the BYOD program compared to inverted learning without BYOD. A quasi-experimental design was carried out on a sample of 118 Higher Education students. A questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. The results show that the assessments of the study groups, both control and experimental, are at medium–high levels, which shows a significant incidence of the teaching and learning methodologies applied in both groups. There are only three dimensions in which a distance is observed between the groups’ assessments: motivation and autonomy, which were better valued by the experimental group, and class time, which was better valued by the control group. The study concludes that there are no great differences between the teaching methodologies applied in the groups that were subjected to experimentation, except in terms of motivation and autonomy, making these methodologies reliable for the development of these dimensions.

Students will cheat during exams, that is nothing new, but now that the Higher Education Act requires the proctoring of exams, distance education institutions now find that both they and their students have a major problem. Exams have to be proctored, but requiring distance education students to search out a reliable proctor and travel to a specific location perhaps multiple times per term imposes an undue burden on the students. But schools now have to ensure the integrity of the exam-taking process and this will require creative solutions since many distance education institutions have no physical campus and perhaps will never actually see any of their students. Virtual proctoring, whereby the student can be at their home or office and can be viewed, recorded and supervised is one solution and this will become an increasingly important part of the educational experience since the proctoring of exams is now mandatory.

Purpose: The main aim of the study is to student and faculty’s experience with emergency distance education in the higher education system at the time of COVID-19 Research Methodology: This research has employed a quantitative approach where survey questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The data was collected from teachers and students separately. The sample of teachers was 916 and the sample of students was 4623. For both the questionnaires, three point and five point Likert scale was used to record the responses. SPSS was used to analyse the data with the help of frequency analysis and correlation analysis. Findings: The results of this research have indicated that emergency distance education tends to impact learning experience of teachers and students in Jeddah. The quantitative findings of this study have suggested that supportive and efficient infrastructure is important for the purpose of ensuring smooth learning in the COVID-19 era. Limitations/ Implications: This research has been carried out in the context of Jeddah hence the scope of the research was restricted. The results of this research are only applicable for higher education system in that geographical region

The distance education model has become the most common educational model used around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic that emerged in China at the end of 2019. In North Cyprus (NC), traditional face-to-face education had been resumed through online channels. The rapid shift to online channels has not only caused distress among students who do not have experience with using in online education systems, but also caused many problems to surface in terms of access to education. This study aims to explore the attitudes and views of higher education students in NC regarding the distance education implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020–2021 educational year. In this quantitative study, the survey method was used. A random sampling approach was used for determining the study group, which was formed of 470 volunteer higher education students. According to the analysis of the data collected from the students, it was determined that they received an average score of x̅=82.52±19.50 points from the overall Attitudes Regarding the Use of Distance Education Environments During the Pandemic (ASRUDEEDP) scale, x̅=23.03±7.21 from the competence and education sub-dimension, x̅=26.36±5.81 from the practicality sub-dimension, x̅=18.20±4.83 points from the efficiency sub-dimension, and x̅=14.93±4.12 from the satisfaction sub-dimension. It was identified that there were no differences in the scores according to the age group, grade, or Internet use durations (p>0.05) but the scores of male students were observed to be higher than those of female in the sub-dimensions of competence and motivation as well as practicality within the ASRUDEEDP.

This article presents the results of research on the effectiveness of distance education in Mathematics for higher education students. A digital course in Differential Calculus was created, which was evaluated by the students who participated in it. The aim of the quantitative research carried out was to identify the conditions needed for the implementation of a digital distance education model. The design includes the integration of activities based on learning theories at targeted points of the distance learning. From the results, it appears that the students achieved the learning outcomes that were identified. Moreover, the integration of the relevant activities had a positive impact on the students, who a) positively evaluated the program they attended and b) stated that their knowledge was enhanced at the issues negotiated on the course.

Annotation. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the feasibility of implementing innovative technologies, forms, and methods of teaching in the educational process of higher education institutions, as the main factor in the formation of professional skills of future professionals in terms of combined distance learning. The following methods have been using at work: biblio-semantic, historical, and content analysis. The issues of implementation of innovative teaching methods in higher education students in the conditions of distance learning are covered, namely: the creation of "intelligence map" on a given topic and independent work of students in "small group," the efficiency of application of "case technologies" in practical classes and conducting seminars in the format of a problem lecture. The importance of innovative training in the process of forming professional skills of future specialists in the conditions of combined classroom and distance education has been emphasizing.
