Abstract
The suddenness of the pandemic situation caused an immediate implementation of digital environments. Despite some negative surprise effects, this new challenging situation has prompted new creative impulses for further development, for productive re-structuring, adapted to new needs and developmental trends, and a quick adaptive reestablishment of the functionality in internal and external interface management. The practices of an effective reconnection of the discourse are not only of great importance at the institutional level, but also at the educational micro-level. This chapter, based on a discourse analysis of communicative contexts in digital environments, outlines some aspects of adaptive teaching practices, in order to support the macro-cohesive mechanisms of reconnecting the interrupted discourse as well as improving the dynamics and interaction of supported, collaborative and autonomous learning processes.
