The COVID-19 pandemic was probably the fastest and most intensive intervention in university teaching on a global scale in history. It paved the way for online education. At the same time, however, it also raised the question of what we can learn better through e-learning than in classical face-to-face teaching and where, on the contrary, we need personal contact. The review study analyzes 16 papers indexed in the SCOPUS database, which provide insight into the reactions of universities to the new social situation.

Keywords: COVID-19, e-learning, universities, higher education, hybrid pedagogy.
