The theme taken at the 3rd ICELI 2021 looked at the existing situation and conditions, especially during the covid 19 pandemic. The world has experienced a COVID-19 pandemic for two years, and cases have fallen in the last few months. We suffer a lot, but there are some lessons that we can take behind that. There are at least three lessons that we can learn during this COVID-19 pandemic, firstly increasing the learning culture, secondly, establishing a culture of innovation, and thirdly adopting technology in learning. This lesson is capital for us in facing various challenges, taking various opportunities and developing multiple potentials, and experimenting and innovating to produce new things, especially in education.
