With advances in technology and the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (2020-2023), telepractice has become a prominent service delivery model. This study explores the evolution of telepractice service delivery research published by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the impact of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on ASHA…

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an almost overnight shift in mental healthcare from in-person to remote delivery. However, the feasibility of online therapy for children and its potential as a long-term fixture remain underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to explore the advantages, disadvantages, and suitability of online…

As faculty and students continue to find challenges in the classroom in a post-COVID world, a better understanding of student and faculty experiences during COVID can help inform successful online pedagogies for the future. One emergent debate is whether faculty should require students to turn on their video cameras in a synchronous class as a way…

Objective: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and participants: There were 53 participants who voluntarily enrolled in a mindfulness course at a regional state university (24 virtual and 29 in-person) and 56 in the control…

Through recognizing that teleconferencing platforms--such as Zoom--were not created to serve as virtual classrooms, but rather to host virtual meetings, I created a semester-long mock stakeholder meeting project for my Recreation Planning class in hopes of harnessing the unique strengths of a platform designed for meeting purposes. This brief…

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a rapid roll-out of virtual health care services to people with intellectual disabilities. Limited evidence is available for clinicians to guide virtual care delivery. Method: Twenty-three studies were identified through systematic searching of 16 databases. Extracted data were mapped to the NSW…

A move to online therapy, observed in counselling courses within the UK during the global Covid-19 pandemic, prompted a research team of counselling educators to undertake a rapid literature review to explore the perceptions and experiences of video therapy internationally (PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020204705). Four databases (CINAHL, Medline, PsychInfo,…

In the context of COVID-19, and within low-resourced countries such as South Africa, research is sparse on the effectiveness and feasibility of online prolonged exposure therapy (PE) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Using Zoom, we investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of online PE for PTSD. Using a case-series design, three…

Background: Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, mental health care has largely transferred its services to online platforms, using videoconferencing (VC) or teletherapy. Within the field of family therapy, however, there is little evidence on the feasibility of using VC, especially when working with whole families at the edge of care. Objective:…

Due to the emergence of Covid-19, many educators moved from a face-to-face teaching environment to an online microteaching setting using Zoom. This study explores pre-service teachers' perspectives on microteaching within Zoom's breakout rooms. The authors approached this study from a positivist-postpositivist perspective employing a mixed-methods…

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent teaching adaptions highlighted issues of equitable student access. Resulting pivots in response to the pandemic, however, offer opportunities to adapt pandemic related pivots to traditional learning environments in ways that will increase student access. This brief manuscript highlights different ways students…

In an attempt to maintain social connection with a large lecture-style class, this teaching case describes how we used the Zoom Break-out Room function to run live discussion groups during fall 2020. Using a combination of Google Docs, Canvas, and Zoom one instructor and one TA describe how they managed to run discussions on contemporary tourism…

The Recreation Management and Leadership (RML) program at Western Washington University utilizes a cohort-based model in which sequenced courses and overnight retreats work in tandem to cultivate an inclusive learning community. COVID-19 necessitated not only that we quickly move all of our courses online, but it challenged us to transition our…

We use the term "Zoomification" to refer to the primary mode of research collaboration used by academic researchers during much of the COVID-19 pandemic. While neither video-enabled technology or remote collaboration is new, the technology developments and needs that occurred during the pandemic proved exceptional, indeed a step-change…

Purpose: Most assessment tools used to diagnose and characterize autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were developed for in-person administration. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in the need to adapt traditional assessment tools for online administration with only minimal evidence to support validity of such practices. Methods:…
