“…The points mentioned above are fairly generic for the management of the departments and their financial survival. However, since the COVID-19 crisis has stimulated a radical transformation in the digitalization of businesses and society as a whole [64,81,82], therefore, it will bring a special focus to the role of online and distance-learning courses of universities in digital skills for leading the digital revolution in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis [87,101]. Therefore, we highlight some new values that need more attention for course planning, curriculum design, and revenue generation.…”

It has led to the promotion of digitalization in societies and online activities. This manuscript presents an overview of the measures education systems could take to present appropriate courses in accordance with the present movement toward digitalization, and other requirements of societies in the (post) crisis period.

“…Due to the transformation in class participation during 2019-2020 with the spread of the pandemic, students needed to adjust to the imposed restrictions [64][65][66]81,82] in a short time. Likewise, long-term planning by universities was required urgently to restrict further loss in the middle of the crisis [83][84][85][86].…”

“…The interviewed teachers broadly agreed that teaching itself can, at times, be marginalised in the wider context of school life and the assertive priorities of educational leaders and a schooling system that values ongoing CPD. Such pressures can have impacts in respect of positionality to the job, to perceptions of what it means to be a teacher in the present day, and on how the subject and the sector alike need to reposition themselves in the light of new COVID-19—provoked realities [ 69 – 71 ].…”

Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a pivot towards digital teaching and learning. This study aims to assess the perceptions of self-identity and continuing professional development (CPD) among secondary school English teachers in Hong Kong in light of the academic paradigm shift triggered by the pandemic. Methods A mixed methods approach is adopted. A quantitative survey (n = 1158) was complemented by qualitative thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with English teachers in Hong Kong (n = 9). The quantitative survey offered group perspectives related to CPD and role perception in the current context. Interviews offered exemplar views on professional identity, training and development, and change and continuity. Results The results reveal that collaboration among educators, development of higher-order critical thinking in students, refining knowledge about teaching methods, and being a good learner and motivator were among the key traits that comprised the teacher identity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increased workload, time pressure and stress associated with the paradigm shift during the pandemic resulted in lower voluntary involvement of teachers in CPD. However, a significant need for the development of information communications technology (ICT) skills is emphasised as educators in Hong Kong received relatively little ICT support from their schools. Conclusion The results have implications for pedagogy and research. Schools are recommended to enhance technical support of educators and help them acquire more advanced digital skills to work effectively in the new environment. Reduction of the administrative workload and providing more autonomy to teachers is expected to lead to greater engagement in CPD and improvements in teaching.

“…Die Erkenntnisse zeigen ähnliche Tendenzen wie die ersten Studien an Schulen im deutschsprachigen Raum während der Pandemiezeit [ 6 , 16 ]. An den Hochschulen (im Gesundheitsbereich) wurden ebenfalls viele unterschiedliche digitale Lernkonzepte umgesetzt; der Schwerpunkt lag auf digitalen Prüfungen, Kommunikationskursen und Kursen zur Vermittlung von Fertigkeiten [ 32 ].…”

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die COVID-19(„coronavirus disease 2019“)-Pandemie hat die Ad-hoc-Digitalisierung an Hochschulen vorangetrieben. Zugleich stand die digitale Hochschullehre vor der Herausforderung der Ausgestaltung der Lehre im Zusammenhang mit den vorbestehenden Ressourcen, der digitalen und didaktischen Kompetenzen sowie der zur Verfügung stehenden technischen Infrastruktur. Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung Das Ziel der Umfrage war die Einschätzung der digitalen Lehre, die die Präsenzlehre infolge der COVID-19-Pandemie zum großen Teil bzw. gänzlich ersetzt hat, aus der Perspektive der Lehrenden in Public Health, Medizin und Pflege. Material und Methode Die Querschnitterhebung fand online von Juni bis August 2020 statt und die Daten wurden über www.soscisurvey.de erhoben. Die schriftliche Befragung wurde unter Mitgliedern der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Public Health (DGPH) und des Ausschusses Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft für medizinische Ausbildung (GMA) und der Sektionen Bildung und Beratung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Pflegewissenschaft (DGP) sowie der Arbeitsgruppe Lehre der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinische Soziologie (DGMS) durchgeführt (n = 100). Ergebnisse Bei der Nutzung der digitalen Technologien in den Veranstaltungen rangieren auf der obersten Stelle Präsentationstools, gefolgt von Lernmanagementsystemen, Videoangeboten sowie digitalen Texten. Die Teilnehmenden geben hinsichtlich der Nutzung unterschiedliche (Konferenz‑)Tools an. Das Erstellen von Lehrvideos bejahen 53 % der Befragten, Abstimmungstools) werden bis > 50 % als unbekannt genannt. Als Herausforderungen werden digitale Infrastruktur der Hochschulen, fehlende didaktische Beratung/Unterstützung sowie rechtliche Fragen (Nutzungsrechte, Datenschutz) angegeben. Schlussfolgerung Neue Technologie werden vorwiegend für Wissenserwerb, Wissensvermittlung genutzt, selten zur Aktivierung von Studierenden und zur Gestaltung kollaborativer Lehr- und Lernarrangements sowie Neugestaltung von Lernaufgaben und Lernprozessen (individualisiertes Lernen). Welche der aktuell erprobten digitalen Lehr- und Lernformate zukünftig in der Hochschullehre zunehmend eingesetzt werden, hängt von vielen Faktoren ab, u. a. von digitaler Kompetenz sowie der Bereitschaft der Lehrenden und Lernenden die digitale Lernkultur mitzugestalten.
