In recent months, both schools and universities have entered a period of significant changes and transformations related to the pandemic situation in the world. The current pandemic situation has forced a change in the functioning of educational institutions as well. E-learning, which until recently was used as a supplementary form of education, has become the basic form used at every level of education: from primary school to teaching in higher education. In the new conditions, we are forced to use new technologies, regardless of how we have been prepared for these tasks. We are currently working in a situation of high stress related to pandemic threats. Contacts between teachers and lecturers with pupils or students are very difficult in the time of the pandemic. Teachers and students were suddenly forced to use information and communication technologies. And in these difficult conditions the role of teachers changed from traditional to a new one: consultant or mentor. The aim of the presented study is to try to determine the level of teachers’ preparation for the new situation. The empirical basis of the presented analyzes are empirical studies conducted at the turn of May and June on a sample of students. The subject of the analyzes are students’ opinions on various aspects of the implementation of distance education and the competences of lecturers in the new reality. The presented results will allow for the improvement of distance learning methods and the development of competences of academic teachers.
