this purpose.

V. CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION

Considering the developments during the pandemics, it

is thought that the diversity in online education applications
as an interdisciplinary pragmatist field will increase, and the
learning content and process will be enriched with the
integration of new technologies into online education
processes. Another prediction is that more flexible and
accessible learning opportunities will be created in online
education processes, and in this way, lifelong learning
processes will be strengthened. As a result, it is predicted
that in the near future, online education and even digital
learning with a newer name will turn into the main ground
of education instead of being an alternative or having a
support function in face – to – face learning. The lessons
learned from the early period online learning experience,
which was passed with rapid adaptation due to the COVID –
19 epidemic, will serve to develop this method all over the
world, and in the near future, online learning will become
the contribution of new technologies and systems. If we look
at it from this point of view, there is a necessity to
strengthen online education.
