Advantages and disadvantages of e-learning. A case study

Rezumat

The vantage point of e-learning, as well as its opposite, will be studied in relation to the e-learning system at Lund University. Sweden has already had an established experience in e-learning, so that the burst of worldwide pandemic restrictions and reformulations did not emerge as a stressful surprise. Even though Sweden did not impose facemasks and plenty of restrictions common in EU, the educational system reacted promptly to the online transfer where there was a case. At Lund University there is the only Romanian Chair left in Scandinavia. For more than twenty years now on-line platforms have been used in teaching Romanian and they cover both e-learning and m-learning. I had the opportunity to teach using all three of them: Luvit, live@lund, and Canvas. There has been a crescendo in the communicational and IT facilities secured by these platforms. Finally, Canvas came up with numerous educational resources. Students and teachers have the possibility to generate videos and audio content, to inscribe videos
with their own message, and to use this platform for unmediated communication instead of Zoom, for instance. Under these technical circumstances, communicative approach, mentoring, and negotiation were more feasible and the educational input experienced a high degree of resonance and impetus.
