Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning

Abstract

This chapter provides a first-hand account of an emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) experience, between Europe and Asia, during the COVID-19 pandemic on ICT in education. The relevance of this experience is fourfold: 1) the course delivered is on the topic of ICT; 2) the course is part of a Master's degree in education where the majority of the students was either an in-service or pre-service teacher; 3) the lecturer has a multidisciplinary background, covering computer science, media production, and education; and 4) the course was conducted online, adopting (and adapting) several well-known pedagogical practices, such as the flipped classroom, gamification, learn-by-doing, computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL), and video-based learning. The first part of the study involves a descriptive research approach, akin to the case-study methodology, followed by a discussion and lessons learned from the experience.
