ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the educational landscape. Approaches of teachers have had to shift as a result of this transformation since they have been forced to use a variety of technological resources to improve their teaching. This pandemic compelled educators to devise the most effective plan for resolving the educational crisis. This study described innovative teaching practices and responses of students to adapt these strategies during the lockdown period. We adjusted courses to make them virtual comprehensible so that we could continue to deliver effective instruction. Hands-on training is essential for good learning of applied courses;thus we established a virtual lab where students were given online instructions via digital platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Blackboard. Later, students were asked to make videos of their lab performances. Furthermore, breakout rooms were created in which students explored various themes in small groups before having a representative from each group convey the main points of their conversation. Another essential tactic was to increase one-on-one interaction with students, giving them feedback on their assignments and other class duties. Importantly, using Microsoft Teams and Blackboard for live invigilation made conducting online exams a lot easier. Finally, these tactics were extremely effective in maintaining a competitive learning environment for diverse students during the COVID-19 crisis. © 2021 IEEE.
