ONLINE INTERNATIONAL LEARNING AT SLOVENE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

Online learning has become a widely spread form of education, which has expanded even further with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. In this article, various approaches and definitions of terminology are discussed in the context of online international learning in relation to available information-communication technology (ICT) at Slovene higher education institutions, wherein the article places the online international learning activities in the context of internationalised curriculum. Results of the survey, which was performed just before the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, in which 1,367 academics from all Slovenian higher education institutions, are presented in the article. It was found out that there are statistically significant differences among academics from different Slovene higher education institutions in terms of how often they implement international online learning with foreign institutions and how satisfied are the academics with the adequacy of ICT equipment and support at their home institution for the implementation of such international forms of online learning.
