Abstract :Due to COVID-19 related school closures, many countries have been exploring alternative ways to provide continuous education using technologies such as the Internet, TV, and radio. Education systems were unprepared for this transition. Schools and universities were forced to develop distance learning systems almost immediately.

She had given a keynote speech at 7th International Communication Days at Üsküdar University in 2020 and the title of her speech was "Communication as Critical Global Semiotics’’.
