Ensuring effective achievement of these skills with limited physical delivery will be particularly challenging.

However, as we move forward, we need to plan for a much more effective online delivery and more imaginative assessment methods that would ensure the achievement of necessary learning outcomes with potentially limited physical contact.Īcquiring practical skills is a very important part of learning outcomes in any chemical engineering degree, as the accreditation guidelines of various accrediting bodies emphasise. Education for Chemical Engineers journal is currently preparing a special issue on digital tools used successfully in this ‘emergency mode delivery’ to enable the community to learn from these examples. Most academics had to rapidly adapt to the online delivery of material and assessment during lockdowns of various levels of stringency in various countries and these emergency measures addressed the immediate needs to some extent. Whilst the economies around the world are slowly opening up at the time of writing, Universities in all countries are preparing for ensuring high quality teaching, learning and assessment in post-COVID-19 affected environments. The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically and very rapidly changed the higher education landscape.
