"Just Keep Swimming": A Story of Teaching Transformation during the Pandemic
Mosavian, Penelope
Quarterly Review of Distance Education, v21 n3 p39-45 2020

Add into that mix the transformation of a program from traditional face-to-face delivery, to a course delivered fully online, with teachers in different time zones using unfamiliar technology, and only 16 weeks to produce all the teaching and training materials. This is exactly what happened in the summer of 2020 at Warwick University in Coventry, United Kingdom. The following is the story of what happened.
