Abstract:
The pandemic, and more precisely the regulations connected with it, have influenced the society’s functioning, which is especially visible in the case of the young population. The goal of the research was to compare students’ online behavior and attitudes towards communication online and distance learning before and during the pandemic. Based on a survey conducted among over one thousand students, we discovered a drop in both face-to-face and online contacts. Besides, we detected a relationship between perceived wellbeing and attitudes towards communication online and distance learning. Students’ online behavior might be influenced by various factors, including gender and their previous experience, and thus educational institutions need to consider these factors in shaping their post-pandemic educational polic The pandemic, and more precisely the regulations connected with it, have influenced the society’s functioning, which is especially visible in the case of the young population.

The last year has been a roller coaster ride for all the sectors. The worst hit is the Education field. With the wide spread of corona virus entire world came to a stop. The situation was becoming bad to worse. There was no hope of life coming back to normal then. As time went by slowing things began to normalize. Life had to begin with alternate means and so did the schools and colleges. Initially seemed like a dream to conduct class on line for both the student and teacher. The students and their syllabus have been hampered a lot since then.
