20.500.12556/DKUM-84873 Investigating the impact of COVID-19 on e-learning country development and COVID-19 response Due to its severity, the outbreak of COVID-19 led to unprecedented levels of social isolation that affected educational institutions, among others. Digital technologies such as cloud computing and video broadcasting helped the adoption of e-learning during the crisis. However, the speed and efficiency of e-learning adoption during the COVID-19 period varied across countries. This paper compares the adoption of e-learning in European countries before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and the relationship between the pandemic, e-learning, and economic development. First, the adoption of e-learning in European countries before and during the pandemic is compared. Second, using fuzzy C-means clustering, homogeneous groups of European countries are formed based on e-learning indicators for the periods before and during the pandemic. Third, GDP per capita is used as an indicator of economic development and severity indices are used as an indicator of the severity of the response to the pandemic to compare the different clusters. The research results show that economically and digitally advanced countries led the adoption of e-learning in both the period before and the period during the pandemic. However, they also responded less strictly to the pandemic. Less-advanced countries responded more strictly to the pandemic, likely due to a lack of healthcare resources, and also fell behind in the adoption of e-learning. e-learning COVID-19 digital technologies fuzzy clustering e-učenje digitalne tehnologije razporejanje podatkov v gruče s pomočjo mehke metode true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2023-08-02 11:13:21 2023-08-02 11:13:21 2023-08-03 03:08:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 21 str. iss. 6, article no. 1520 Vol. 11 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-01 37.018.43:004:616-036.21 146023939 10.3390/math11061520 2227-7390 Investigating_the_Impact_of_COVID-19-Bach-2023.pdf Investigating_the_Impact_of_COVID-19-Bach-2023.pdf 1 85B44D1C9041DD15A2352C228455CE4F 491ce5d113a032ed27a71404069c5e78d37ef67ee6aea961b5ab8ad3bd7e327d 1199eca5-3115-11ee-b6b4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169175 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7390/11/6/1520 1 d456b10a-3114-11ee-b6b4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169174 Fakulteta za organizacijske vede 0 0 0
