Introduction: Social distancing, as a preventative measure of the COVID spread, has shifted the educational process from face-to-face to online education. While this stops the transmission of the virus it presents new challenges and barrier for the everyday educational process.
Aim: The aim of this article is to analyze the adaptation to e-education and the satisfaction of the users.
Materials and Methods: We have conducted a review of the available literature.
Results and Discussion: While there already was a level of e-education implemented to a different extend in most developed countries, the forced transition to a full-time online education in all specialties caught their educational systems unprepared. During the extended quarantine the systems adapted to the new conditions and user satisfaction, and the quality of education improved.
