The corona virus pandemic has changed the life of modern society in many segments. In this sense, the entire education and teaching format have been changed. Online teaching and learning is recognized as a valuable tool in the emerging situation. In this regard, the paper emphasizes the explanation of the concept of online teaching and learning, and then the experiences of students and parents and their evaluations of the success of remote teaching during the corona virus pandemic, with reference to the challenges faced by teachers in their to the new role of “online teachers”. The research is based on the constructivist and socio-cultural paradigm of contemporary teaching, which is situated in a technologically mediated information and communication context. The goal was to examine the experiences, opinions and satisfaction of students and parents with the applied teaching concept. The sample consists of 196 elementary school students in the territory of Vojvodina and 135 parents. A questionnaire (parallel form) was used for data collection with questions about strengths, weaknesses, teaching articulation and teacher engagement in supporting student learning (choice of work methods, creation of learning materials, feedback, encouragement, empathy and teacher workload). The results of the research showed that although they are generally satisfied with the realization of classes, 41% of students and 46% of parents do not accept the claim that distance learning should be extended even after the pandemic. Among the main disadvantages, students singled out a short deadline for homework and redundant messages on the platform, while the main advantage is the feeling of freedom, due to the absence of constant teacher control. The support and engagement of the teachers was rated more favorably by the students than by the parents. The implications of the obtained findings are discussed from the aspect of the new role of the teacher (moderator and facilitator) in the e-environment.
