The Whiplash of a COVID-19 Teaching Pivot and the Lessons Learned for the Future
Journal of Chemical Education, v97 n9 p2917-2921 Sep 2020
In March 2020, over the course of less than 2 days, the author's university went from business as usual to suspending classes until weeks later and then completing the semester online. The author reflects on the changes to the mode of teaching, use of technology, problems with academic integrity, and class engagement. The most problematic issues were academic integrity issues and engagement with the online class meetings. Lest the sudden change to online seem to be all bad, opportunities for improvement in the form of transformation of the course to a more flipped-type model have come. Students and faculty largely weathered the emergency.
