Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to closures of university campuses around the world from March 2020 onwards. With little or no time for preparation, lecturers turned to emergency remote teaching to continue to educate their students. Online mathematics education poses particular challenges in terms of both the hardware and software necessary for effective teaching, due to issues with mathematical symbols and notation, among others. In this paper, we report upon an online survey of 257 university mathematics lecturers across 29 countries, which explores what hardware and software they used for emergency remote teaching, for what purposes they used these and what training and support were made available to them at the time. We also consider what approaches they took to emergency remote teaching and what were their reasons for this.

如何以及为什么？新冠肺炎大流行期间大学数学讲师用于紧急远程教学的技术和实践

新冠肺炎大流行导致世界各地的大学校园从2020年3月起关闭。由于几乎没有时间准备，讲师们转向紧急远程教学，继续教育学生。由于数学符号和符号等问题，在线数学教育在有效教学所需的硬件和软件方面都提出了特别的挑战。在这篇论文中，我们报告了一项针对29个国家257名大学数学讲师的在线调查，该调查探讨了他们在紧急远程教学中使用了哪些硬件和软件，他们使用这些硬件和软件的目的是什么，以及当时为他们提供了哪些培训和支持。我们还考虑了他们对紧急远程教学采取了什么方法，以及他们这样做的原因是什么。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
