Summary/Abstract: The situation which has recently turned the world upside down (that of the coronavirus disease which has rapidly spread among the people from all over the world, taking its tribute and being merciless from all points of view: social and economic), has forced education to adjust in a matter of seconds and discover ways of transferring knowledge virtually to learners. The connection of the teacher to digital resources is not new, on the contrary, it has passed quite a while since electronic gadgets and materials have slowly but constantly “invaded” the teaching act. The novelty lies in the total movement of the teaching process in the digital world. A numberless range of issues stirred each educator’s mind regarding the platform that should be used, the difficulty to cope with a large number of students, possible technical problems that may appear, etc. The current paper is meant to focus on all the constraints, fears, problems but also on the positive aspects of digital teaching under the current changes generated by the appearance of a highly contagious disease such as COVID-19.
