Abstract

Distance learning, e-learning in particular, started to gain growing popularity even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous training courses and training events have been designed and conducted both remotely and online. Since distance learning has become such a necessity, research that focuses on public opinions regarding the possibility of receiving quality education by means of distance learning is currently of special interest. The present article discusses the factors influencing the quality of distance learning, especially the external factors (social and cultural ones), and the internal factor of motivation for distance learning. As before, people have ambivalent attitudes towards distance learning: some recognize and trust it, while others are opposed to receiving education in such a way. This difference of opinions leads to the development of blended learning which combines traditional and distance learning.
