Over the past three years Türkiye, as well as the whole world, has gone through hard times and this has created challenges in many spheres. Education is one of these spheres. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemics all throughout the world at the end of 2019, education in Türkiye had to become online at all levels. While primary, secondary, and high schools had an intermittent schedule over the period of the pandemics, the universities were completely online. Moreover, after the devastating earthquakes on the 6th of February in 2023 in Türkiye, ten major cities with the overall population of nearly 13 million have been harshly affected in terms of physical, social, psychological, and educational aspects. As a consequence of this catastrophe that the country felt and mourned in each region, the government has decided to continue its higher education online.
