• Resumen

  • The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is being considered one of the most challenging global crises that the world has experienced in recent history, causing ripple effects and major disruption across all aspects of our daily lives, especially education. Many countries around the world, including Jordan, have instituted shutdown of academic institutions as an early measure to curb the spread of the virus. The rapid response came at a price: Having to transition to remote teaching and learning without the proper tools and technological support. Here we present a glimpse of the efforts undertaken by chemistry instructors at a Pharmacy School in Jordan to ensure the continuity of student learning and achieve educational outcomes during these unprecedented times. By sharing our experiences, we hope to contribute to the collective insights of chemistry instructors around the world in the face of this universal struggle, so that we may all be better prepared for future disruptive events.
