ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic led to the transfer of the educational system in Poland to the online realm. This had a massive effect on the way in which lessons were taught, as well as on the communication system within the schools themselves. This study sought to understand the shift from offline teaching to online through the perspective of the leadership style of the head of the school, and what that style meant for the school's teachers. In moving to a different delivery method, teachers were required to be creative–but not all teachers were equally creative or equally adaptable. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations into rapid transition to virtual workplace settings. Librarians at the University of South Florida conducted a study to discover trends in team communication dynamics among academic librarians working remotely during this period. This study was motivated by a desire to gauge the perceived degree of positive or negative impact on group communication dynamics and connectedness before and after the transition, with attention paid to factors that inform team communication. This study used a quantitative approach employing a cross-sectional survey administered to the population of professional academic librarians in the United States. Survey findings exhibited small shifts in dynamics, opening a path for more nuanced examination. Effects on librarianship due to the pandemic are still being felt;it is a topic with long reach and impact, which merits examination. © 2022, Association of College and Research Libraries.
