Abstract

Over the last year, the pandemic of COVID-19 has changed the educational processes immensely, and the studies at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, are no exception. In the paper, the situation before the winter semester of the academic year 2020-21 is described and also the three expected scenarios concerning the realization of the subject Modelling methods. The experience with the realization of educational processes is analyzed. Despite difficulties, the implemented solutions were positively accepted by the students. Therefore, many of the adaptations introduced will also benefit educational processes in the future.
