Exploring Online Teaching and Learning. A Case Study

The present paper focuses on the practices of tertiary level students with digital learning and teaching and their views on the strategies employed in both situations, as many of them also work as or have some experience as teachers. Since the development of digital competencies is no longer optional, our study proposed to take a closer look at the specific learning/teaching strategies and to map any changes of attitude, or practice towards teaching/learning in a digital format, for a particular group of students in the field of humanities. Since many of the students train to become teachers and by the end of this academic year will have conducted more than half of the their BA programme through online classes, and the MA students will most likely only meet their colleagues face to face for the first time at their graduation ceremony, their expertise with the use of digital resources, particular learning strategies and the identified “glitches” in what concerns teaching, prove a very important source for re-shaping and debugging this medium of instruction to ensure effectiveness of outcome.
