Abstract
Nowadays, network technologies of E-learning have been applied as support to
adapt the teaching and learning in higher education. Therefore, E-learning is the utilize of
network technologies to develop, adapt, address, and facilitate learning, anywhere, and
anytime, which proved to be a very useful tool in the COVID-19 period. This research aims
to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in students' responses to
their demographic characteristics and their attitude towards the key determinants of the
quality of e-learning at the time of the pandemic. The research was conducted by an online
questionnaire among the students at the University of Belgrade, Serbia in the emergency.
The questionnaire was fulfilled by 417 respondents. The paper examines the influence of
gender, years of study, and the frequency of use of E-learning tools on the perception of
quality. Obtained results show that students most recognize that E-learning is useful for
studies during the pandemic, while they least recognize that the use of E-learning improves
their efficiency during learning in the COVID-19 period. It can be concluded that quality
assurance in education is a primary requirement for E-learning development by the
modernization of teaching, the promotion of network technologies, and the establishment of
a unique E-learning platform.
