(Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, etc.), email, etc. The internally displaced students had to adjust themselves 
both  to  new  technical  and  academic  requirements.  IDSs  who  changed  affiliation  had  to adapt  to  new 
curriculum, new rules and processes of assessment, testing and examination.  
 
Despite some difficulties IDSs experienced while adapting to new online learning platforms, online learning 
technologies themselves facilitated students’ adaptation to new learning and living conditions. The positive 
impact of online learning technologies on teaching and learning internally displaced students is evidenced 
by international studies (Gillett-Swan, 2017; Lwin & Sungtong, 2022; Bawa & Bayaro, 2017). Though the 
above studies were conducted in different contexts and were not related to the war in Ukraine, we can 
trace  the  common  features:  accessibility,  flexibility,  mobility,  larger  academic  freedom  of  internally 
displaced students, etc. 
 
4. Conclusions 
 
Adaptation of internally displaced students is a complex process that can be successful only in the case of 
creating  supporting  learning  environment  and  favorable  conditions  for  living  and  learning.  The  study 
revealed that  most difficulties in  adaptation of  internally  displaced students  for  new living and learning 
conditions are caused mainly by psychological problems, as well as the peculiarities of the surrounding 
environment, in particular – communicative. Also, the findings of  the  study  proved that to achieve  the 
successful adaptation of internally displaced students to learning in new academic environment, the whole 
range of academic and social programs should be implemented. In this context online learning technologies 
are a powerful tool that contributed to continuous studying process of internally displaced students, the 
intensification  of  their  academic  mobility,  ensuring  international  standards  for  the  high  quality  of 
educational services and gaining international experience in the academic field.
