Abstract

The information competency of teachers and students is a fundamentally important success factor in distance learning, the relevance of which has largely increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Distance learning provides an opportunity to exclude or limit direct personal contact between teachers and students. Nowadays it relies heavily on information technology (information systems), being connected with informatization of education in general. This research concentrates on the analysis of the correlation between the successful application of information systems in distance learning and the information competency of the subjects of such learning. The results of the research show that the success of the operational development and application of information systems in distance learning (both by teachers and students) is determined both by the system of knowledge and skills of the individual (in the field of information technology), and by the previous personal experience of using technical information systems in general life activities.
