• Resumen

  • Following the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, The University of British Columbia shifted their instruction to online delivery. This communication describes the foundational principles used in two courses: first-year Introductory Chemistry and upper-year Materials Chemistry, to navigate this transition. The authors outline their efforts to apply these principles effectively in the context of the differing logistical needs. Throughout this work, student perceptions obtained from course-specific survey data collected at the end of the January–April 2020 term are underlined. Lastly, this work summarizes our plans for remote content delivery in the fall of 2020.
