Emergency Distance Education From the Perspective of a University During the COVID-19 Era

Abstract

In this chapter, the reflections of the emergency distance education process experienced in a state university in Turkey were presented. The decisions taken during the pandemic period, the triggers of the decisions, the changes made, the problems encountered, the solution methods developed to solve these problems and the lessons learned were discussed. In addition, by associating the inferences obtained with the findings of the studies in the literature, indicators were provided to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of distance education to determine their future strategies. In this context, it is thought that sharing and criticizing the practices made are important in terms of being a guide for similar situations that may be encountered in the future.
