(Eszterházy Károly Catholic University, Hungary)

Abstract: The MOODLE distance learning framework system has been used at the Eszterházy Károly Catholic University since 2010 with varying success. The institution has a research team, whose main profile is the integration of existing and the development of new devices and applications facilitating the monitoring of learning outcomes achieved in interactive, online courses. One aspect of this research is aimed at the evaluation of the satisfaction and digital competences of users, especially instructors and students. The sudden changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have clearly illustrated that neither students, nor most instructors were ready to meet the methodological and technological challenges posed by digital instruction. The scope of this research program was extended to school libraries as the latter represent a significant portion of the quality indicators in a given school. Our study introduces the pandemic-related anomalies that emerged in the higher education, public education, and the related library spheres.
