Distance education questions and answers
Izmir University of Economics offers its students Blackboard Learn Learning Management System, a system being widely used by leading universities worldwide and one of the most preferred systems among learning management systems; a real time web conferencing tool Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, which is specifically designed for distance learning; and Panopto, a course video recording system in order to increase the learning efficiency of its students.
While many of the universities searched for rapid solutions under the given circumstances, Izmir University of Economics easily and smoothly adapted to the implementation of distance education, and completed all its preparations, and started to offer its students education without having any disruptions. As part of these preparations, all instructors who are teaching have been provided training and information by the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC), and they have been supported, and still receiving support, so that they can offer the most efficient teaching to you, students, under the existing circumstances.
