The change in educational systems was particularly challenging for developing countries like Serbia, where most higher education institutions were still in the early stages of implementing information and communication technology (ICT) in education. The pandemic forced higher education institutions in Serbia to shift from traditional to distance learning to enable continuous teaching while implementing pandemic prevention measures. The purpose of this study was to explain how two variables—technological environment and educational environment during online courses—influence students’ perceived satisfaction with online courses and their ability to acquire additional professional skills. The statistical analysis in the study is based on surveying 180 bachelor students attending accounting education in distance learning mode. Study findings are used to define some recommendations for accounting educators in Serbia for updating future learning practices based on lessons learned during the pandemic. The derived recommendations may be useful for similar disciplines and other developing countries.enbookPart
