#onlinetogether #impreunaonline
In the last period of uncertainty due to COVID-19, in Romania, as in other countries, educational functions and activities face to face were moved in online, using applications, platforms and various tools and working methods for distance education.
In the Together online webinars we respond to these challenges, in the most practical way possible, in spirit open education and free access to knowledge.

What was the students' experience during the last year of education in the pandemic?
How did they perceive the transposition of online education?
What were the main challenges encountered and what solutions do they propose for the next period?
Students from the faculties of Automation and Computers, Architecture, Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology, Mechanics, Communication Sciences and from Faculty of Chemistry and Industrial Engineering have discussed the experiences of a year of education in the pandemic and exposed their own confessions regarding both the positive and negative experiences encountered online - experiences in the field of communication, architecture, to the field of experimental sciences and information technologies, mechanics or engineering, with answers to many curiosities of the participants.
The closing words of the students were: dedication, progress, connection, adaptation, efficiency, ambition and change.
