Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has made a strong mark on the education system globally. Universities have been compelled to take urgent measures to provide young people with access to education, leading them to invest significant resources in building their own e-learning platforms. Because they were created and implemented in a relatively short time, certain e-learning platforms presented several issues, underscoring the need for improvement. This paper aims to identify students’ perceptions of how e-learning platforms should be refined in order to increase the quality of online educational services. The research involved a sample of 114 students enrolled in the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila in Bucharest. Data collection was conducted using an online questionnaire, and data analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS software. The results indicated that there is room for improvement in the quality of the services offered. To achieve this, further steps should focus on the interface of the online platforms, optimizing the presentation of educational materials, and refining the communication between teachers and students. Furthermore, other online tools (e.g., blogs, forums, or mobile applications) should be incorporated within these platforms, in order to facilitate the integrative distribution of information.
