Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we all live, work and learn. Higher education institutions had to adapt to the pandemic situation suddenly and accelerated the implementation of ICT skills and competencies to avoid a disruption of studies. Teachers were forced to convert their instruction to online formats during the lockdowns, most of them moving to blended learning approaches after the pandemic. The University St. Kliment Ohridski-Bitola (UKLO) and the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland (UASB) quickly reoriented themselves towards providing conditions for students and teaching staff to apply and strengthen blended learning. The bilateral Scientific & Technological Cooperation between Austria and Macedonia, covering a time span of two years from January 2022 to December 2023 and entitled “Blended Learning in Business Education – Consequences After Covid-19, examined the implications of this transformation process alongside the research question: “Which skills, tools and methods will be maintained, further developed and creatively combined after the Covid-19 crisis?”
A multi-method approach included desk research from the outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020 and outreaching the pandemic by systematizing the measures UKLO and UASB took on to continue the education, two surveys addressing teachers and students to get information about the effects of the increased use of online and blended learning and four focus groups with academic staff and business students to provide answers on how well students are prepared for the economy through online and blended learning methods. The results are presented in a scientific brochure [1] which takes a closer look at which skillsets, toolsets and mindsets will be maintained and further developed in the future for blended learning instruction.
