Emergency Remote Learning in Higher Education: Capturing Faculty’s Members Voice and Reflections
Abstract: This study provides a zoom-out perspective of higher education faculty members’ experiences related to the emergency remote learning (ERL) following the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The national, in-depth survey was administered to all higher education institutions in Cyprus collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data collected from 110 faculty members. The main themes discussed are the challenges of transition to ERL and reflections on the ERL experience. The study exemplifies the necessity to further examine and define the appropriate steps for future in order to ensure equal opportunities, quality education among learners and enhanced accessibility and usability for all learners through education strategies and the appropriate design of learning environments.
