Abstract
In previous years, the corona virus pandemic had a significant impact on institutional education at all levels, which is why there is noticeable interest from the wider academic community, which is intensively engaged in the study of distance learning. The focus of this paper is students' perceptions of the values and limitations of online classes during the corona virus pandemic. The sample in this empirical research consisted of students of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Banja Luka (N=151). An "online" survey was conducted in two stages, the first in mid-2020, and the second in mid-2021. The results of the research show that students recognize the advantages of online learning in terms of its economy and availability of teaching materials, they also notice the obstacles of this kind of teaching in terms of a lower level of interactivity, technical obstacles and overloaded requirements. By pointing out the manifested values and limitations of online teaching, the paper highlights certain recommendations for its improvement and elimination of shortcomings.
