Dear All,
We are running an exploratory research project on how the COVID-19 outbreak impacted higher education around the world. We are trying to identify differences and commonalities across educational institutions with different particular environments that could help understand how educational adjustments were addressed and what lessons were learned from them.
We kindly ask for your voluntary participation by completing the survey, and by helping us forward it to as many instructors/lecturers/professors around the globe as possible (so far we need more from Europe, Asia, and Africa). Results and conclusions will be shared among participants and your name could be acknowledged in our work if you wish so as well.
Survey: https://forms.gle/nw1ypzZuktSNMKfF6
Many thanks in advance!
For questions please contact me directly: Dr. Miguel Varela, ABP, Qatar, [email protected]'
Dr. Miguel angel Varela , it seems the tool is for lecturers. it would be a good idea to include students as well so as to collect wide range of information from both Lecturers and students.
The usual suspects are:
1) lack of interactivity
2) higher workload
3) impacts on student wellbeing
Since March 16, 2020, quarantine has been introduced in Russian universities. Students met the end of the 2019-2020 academic year in quarantine. All tests and exams were carried out remotely. Moreover, the ministry believes that quarantine should be extended until February 2020. This will affect the training badly. Since not all laboratory and practical exercises can be carried out remotely. Regards, Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich
Thanks for both responses... going over replies we already have, there seem to be a lot of variables involved. Please consider completing and sharing the survey among faculty members to have a wider perspective.
We decided to focus only and primarily on faculty (we are aware that all stakeholders in the academic community were impacted) from a practical point of view and aiming at lessons learned and dos and don’ts.
Regards
The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has no doubt adversely affected the global economy. It has forced many businesses to temporarily shut down and governments across the world to place a restriction on movement while exempting providers of essential services who are to strictly observe social distancing rules while providing services as a way to contain the spread of the virus.
Dear Miguel Angel,
This is an interesting issue and I will complete the survey.
Personally, I pinpoint the lack in teacher education concerning on-line teaching competencies, or generally other than "in-vivo" intervention skills. This can be applied, at least in my opinion, to almost al levels of formal education, from primary to the University.
In the post-covid19, it could be interesting to investigate further into new pedagogical solutions and maybe include new means that can develop teacher competencies.
The same has been conducted already for Indian population and is under consideration by a journal.
Thanks so much, everyone for collaborating and please continue to forward the survey as the more faculty members and the more countries are involved, the better. Regards.
One of the sectors most affected during the viral emergency of COVID-19 is education, which had a change towards virtuality. To contribute to the debate, especially in pandemic medical education, I wish to share the following manuscript.

Dear Jorge,
Many thanks for the article. This is really helpful.
If you teach (or know someone that teaches at the university level) can you please ask them to complete the survey. I think you are in Colombia, and we do not have any responses from there yet. We have about 31 countries represented so far, but we would like to reach 50 at least. I will share the findings with all participants. Here is the survey again:

I think some students, specially Advanced Undergrad and Postgrad students also have some to say here. The form provided in the website is for Faculty members only.
