The social distancing required for dealing with coronavirus has thrown just about every educational institution around the world (from kindergarten through universities and Executive Education) into a frantic race to move from face-to-face teaching and learning to online approaches. In this interview, we speak to the fact that most educational systems and institutions were not sufficiently using technology to improve their teaching and learning before the crisis, which made the change to fully online approaches extremely haphazard and likely to be ineffective. Key areas to watch for (access to technology, changes in pedagogy, and a greater recognition that online teaching//earning is inherently different than face-to-face approaches) are discussed to help teachers and leaders at all level help make the transition as painless as possible.
