ENThe current situation in the world’s universities is distance/remote/online/virtual teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was no massive distance teaching and learning practice before the pandemic. Therefore, it can be argued that the scientific sources analyzing distance teaching and learning were designed to discuss and analyze the experiences and attitudes of technology enthusiasts and visionaries. The aim of this article is to discuss forced innovations in online education models, and to reveal the experiences and attitudes of first-year students in the university nursing study program towards communication on the university intranet and virtual learning environment (VLE). The article presents a case study. The students’ perspective is relevant today as it can help highlight activities that are acceptable for VLE students. This can serve in the future for the development of the qualitatively new learning environments for students. [From the publication]
