APPROACH:

The telepresence robots were used as an innovative approach for both faculty and students to engage in learning experiences offered in a variety of settings.

OUTCOME:

Feedback was obtained from faculty and students about the use of and satisfaction with telepresence robots. The robots were easy to use and posed only a few technological challenges, which were easily overcome.

CONCLUSIONS:

Telepresence robots were effective tools in overcoming teaching and learning barriers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The telepresence robots have many applications, including use in clinical and community settings.
