New tool supporting teachers in designing online interactive content - lessons learned from experiences in Poland, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece and Sweden

Restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic forced universities and teachers to switch from face-to-face to online teaching, which required adopting solutions for numerous organisational and technical challenges. In this context, the aim of this study is to highlight issues faced by teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic, show e-learning solutions developed as part of the iSurvive project, and assess their usefulness in online teaching. In the research conducted in 2021-2023, challenges with online teaching and learning were identified, a handbook with important advice for online teaching was prepared, an interactive & gamified online content search engine was created, and training for academics was prepared and conducted. Students, academic teachers and relevant experts in the field of e-learning from four European countries took part in the quantitative and qualitative research and training. A unique outcome of the project was the creation of e-learning applications, catalogues and content maps stored in one place, which proved their innovation and adoption to the needs of an unstable and unpredictable world, and received positive feedback.
