Abstract
The March 2020 pandemic of the 2019-nCOV virus required teachers and associates at higher education institutions in the Republic of Serbia to move from university classrooms to virtual classrooms. The Faculty of Philosophy in Niš reorganized its work in just one day thanks to the G Suite for education – Google Classroom and Hangouts Meet. Serbian Studies were in a special position because, due to the specific nature of language and literary subjects, they required a particular level of interaction between teachers and students. Therefore, the subject of this paper is examining the attitudes of Serbian students towards e-learning platforms. Using a method of theoretical analysis, a survey technique and a specially designed questionnaire, the authors showed that students are extremely satisfied with the functionality of the analyzed platforms, clearly pointing out their good and bad sides.
