COVID-19 has changed the way we work, live and learn. Most educational institutions have moved to some type of alternative education provision. Research into in the impact of the disruptions and challenges on educators is currently being conducted at the University of Southern Queensland. We are interested in how the changes have impacted on your anxiety, work engagement and self-efficacy.
We are looking for Educators from around the world to complete an online survey. The participants should be educators could be from any education sector e.g. Early Childhood, K - 12, Higher Education, Vocational Education and workplace trainers.
The survey takes, on average, approximately 5 minutes.
If you are willing to help us by completing the survey, here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/y73yj5fe
We are using a snowballing technique to gather more participants so feel free to pass on to colleagues or your professional networks.
This research project has ethical approval from the University of Southern Queensland (Human Research Ethics Approval Number – H20REA103).
Our sincere thanks in advance for competing the survey, should you decide to do so. Your input into this study will be extremely valuable.
The pandemic has significantly disrupted the higher education sector as well, which is a critical determinant of a country’s economic future. Open-source digital learning solutions and Learning Management Software should be adopted so teachers can conduct teaching online. In this time of crisis, a well-rounded and effective educational practice is what is needed for the capacity-building of young minds.

The big problem now the plagiarism is done by our students. How we can measure students not plagiarism? The impact is low self-regulated learning but they learn for plagiarism, I am teaching secondary school.
Yes this pandemic has destroyed higher education sector and also economical sector.
Dear Petrea Redmond ,
very good question.
Obviously all of us have been violently pushed into digitalization (from 0 - 100kph in a day). I personally don't have a problem with online lecturing (LMS etc) but one dimension that LMS can never ever cover is the professor's emotion, passion, zeal and keenness and IMHO that is the main factor that separates good and great educator.
Stay safe!
regards
In South Africa, we had about 48 hours in our Secondary school, and a 2 weeks in Higher Education/ Government run schools, to be online. There is a lot of difference between educational heads and how they choose to run this. Professor Geoffrey Lautenbach from University of Johannesburg is an expert in this field,and runs modules on Assessment- i will forward any commentary he has on this here. We have social justice issues which spill into this digital divide, complicating matters.... we will need to change our outlook on the size and pace of Assessment(s).... we have just been launched into the 4th Industrial Revolution... and many are excited... but still learning.
In Bangladesh, All the educational institutions has been shut down.
From Play level to University level.
But recently our government encourages the teachers to launch and conduct multimedia online classes...
On the other hand, our first term examination has also been withheld.
However, it has brought a heinous impact on our academic sectors but we don't know how long we will be suffering from this....
Dear Prof. Petrea Redmond: In Brazil, we have generally suspended presential classes in both basic and higher education. Private institutions have "automatically" moved to distant learning and virtual classes using web. I am professor and researcher at tha Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology, a chain of hundreds of public Education Institutions placed in great and medium size cities, devotes do medium (technichal-professional) and higher (technological and teacher trainning courses in technical areas). I am head of a research group that is presently developing research about the questions of Quarentine, social isolation, intensifyed family relations, remote work and remote classes, and the impact over professors as a matter of stress, depression and other somatized simptoms, either as disease or as positive stimulus. We would be happy to exchange ideas and results with your research team.

In Nigeria, all educational institutions from primary to tertiary levels are shut down. But most schools have organised online classes for their students.
Most of the professional education institutions have shifted to online teaching and assessment, but the major problem is with conducting online exams. All traditional exams can't be converted to open book exams or projects
we have gone online but being hands on skills its not the best option
Many of the technical institutions have been shifted to online classes options. But is difficult for hotel management course to provide education to their students online because food production is purely based on demonstration and preparation of food in front of students. If students are not preparing food along with the chef then they would not be able to understand the exact method of cooking and taste and aroma of the dish.
We have changed our research to focus on what COVID means for for certain safety aspects when distance performance is not an option, for example:
The mostly affected sector during COVID-19 is education. The totally working Environment changed to online.
