• The article investigates university students’ perception of the distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors surveyed 211 undergraduate students (ages 18–22) in different years of study at the Schools of Special Education of Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushinsky to find out their level of satisfaction with distance learning. Participants were asked to evaluate various aspects of distance learning related to students’ motivation for taking courses, the subjective difficulty of the courses and their suitability for online mode, and instructors’ professional qualification and readiness for remote teaching. The survey data were used to establish significant statistical differences (Student’s t-test) and correlations (Spearman’s ρ-coefficient) between various parameters influencing students’ perception of the online courses. Based on the correlation analysis of various factors, the authors suggest emphasizing the following aspects while creating and teaching an online course: novelty of the course content, its significance for professional development and career, clear structure and coherent presentation of the course content, carefully crafted sequence of assignments. It is highly recommended to consider creating an out-of-class space (online platform) where the students can communicate with the instructors and each other.
