Opportunities for mobile applications in supporting student educational activities during wartime

Abstract

The study of mobile applications’ potential to support the educational process for students during wartime is especially relevant given the rapid transformations in Ukraine’s higher education system following the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. This attack led to widespread infrastructure damage, forced displacement of students and educators, and the disruption of traditional education methods. War and associated security threats have catalyzed significant changes within higher education. As a response to these challenges, universities have pivoted to distance learning, resulting in a substantial increase in the use of mobile applications as the primary means to ensure the continuity of the educational process in conditions of limited access to traditional educational resources.
