WHEN DOES THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS BECOME TOO MUCH?

Abstract

The current global situation brought about by the recent pandemic, has wreaked havoc through educational systems worldwide. From the traditional face-to-face interaction during the educational process, we were all suddenly faced with the daunting task of teaching online, and we all had to learn on the go. So, we adapted, teachers and students alike, and in this process, we unexpectedly found ourselves bombarded with various videoconferencing platforms, eLearning platforms, applications meant to make the teaching-learning process easier and smoother, and a wide range of devices on which all these platforms and apps could run. In this article we are analysing the results of a survey taken by a sample of 202 students from our university in an attempt to provide an answer to the question of when technology in the educational process becomes too much.
