Over the past few months, and in many countries across the world, millions of classes have been forced to move online as schools, colleges and universities have grappled with how to continue to deliver a continued service in times of COVID-19. With very little time to prepare, teachers and students have been forced to adapt to the cancellation of face-to-face classes and use such technologies as Zoom to deliver education. The speed and scale of this move has been unprecedented but this panel will discuss how many are failing to see that this is for the most part emergency remote teaching, and not reflective of what “online learning” really is, in its design, tools, development, and student and faculty support and therefore quality and delivery.
