Going Remote: Actionable Insights from Indiana University’s Transition to Remote Instruction due to COVID-19

Abstract

On March 10, 2020, Indiana University (IU) announced the suspension of in-person instruction due to COVID-19. At that time, the eLearning Research and Practice Lab, a laboratory within the Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute, began preparing to conduct a full-census survey of all undergraduates and instructors across all IU campuses. The study’s purpose was to examine student and instructor experiences of the transition to remote instruction, and to identify actionable insights that may improve instruction during future semesters. This report was prepared and distributed internally at IU, in order to provide rapid evidence-based recommendations for instructional practice.This study was made possible by support from the IU Office of the Vice President for Research and from Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative co-founded by Eric and Wendy Schmidt
