Post COVID Foundation Biology Through Interactive Online Learning

Synopsis

The rapid migration of courses from blended teaching to a fully online learning environment during the COVID-19 pandemic required the timely development of new, online teaching resources and re-imagined strategies, to teach practical skills to university students. The move to deliver content that was fully online challenged the assumptions and conventions about the use of face-to-face classes, especially in STEM disciplines. This critical review uses case studies to describe the innovations that were used to adapt undergraduate, first year biology courses which were previously delivered using a blended learning pedagogy to a fully online format.
