Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the Austrian education system, necessitating an abrupt shift to distance learning and triggering a reassessment of digital education strategies.

The synopsis of 7 selected reports revealed six key themes: communication dynamics between students and teachers, availability of communication tools, adequacy of technical equipment, importance of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies, barriers to the transition to distance learning, and high workload. Despite challenges, including a notable gender gap in communication skills and a digital divide in technology, students and teachers have adapted to new learning modalities. The findings highlight the essential role of effective communication, strategic integration of digital tools, and the importance of promoting SRL to improve student engagement, learning outcomes...
