        <p>COVID-19 can be considered the leading factor in the global transition towards online education. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the globe in the rfist months of 2020, several universities and other institutes of higher education faced the challenge of transforming their activities from campuses to online environments. In some organizations and disciplines, the transition was smooth. In some other programs, several pitfalls and problems were discovered. It can also be argued that the activities are easier to digitalize in some educational domains than in others. On top of these considerations, some students have requests and needs that the services must fullfi to succeed. In this article, we look at student survey results from four diferent European Union countries and their universities to study what works in online education from their point of view, what dicfiulties online education and blended education approaches still have, and how the students from these diferent countries find the online education to perform against the at-campus approaches. This survey aimed to identify students' social and technological challenges and provide guidelines on the key benetfis successful implementation of online education. While the severity of the global pandemic is settling down, how should the institutions view online education compared to at-campus activities? What is the role of blended or online learning, and what makes online education work? online education, blended learning, best practices, software engineering, online tools, online course, systematic mapping CEUR</p>

English version was done by LUT, and if the universities
needed a localized version of the questionnaire, the

received, the majority of which were from Germany,
Finland, and Hungary. There were also responses from the
United Kingdom, France, and a few other nations in the
English version of the survey, which was subsequently
complemented by 64 contributions from the Spanish

of these students are expected to spend at least half of
their time on campus, figure 2. Although it has been the
trend for a few years now to talk just about online
