Description
Summary:Due to the unforeseen pandemic, many educational institutions were forced to migrate from traditional teaching/learning methods to an online environment in a short period. This article measures the possible impacts on student learning via a three-stage evaluation process. The first stage surveyed faculty perspective on the success of the online part of the Spring semester and the second part focused on student perception of that same transition. The third stage compared results from selected traditional courses with comparable online counterparts. Overall, while many faculty were not familiar with the online teaching format, they were satisfied with the process and learning outcomes. Students also showed satisfaction with the online transition overall.
