This article (15 page PDF) uses the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework (see Koehler & Mishra, 2006) to examine educators' experiences. "The TPACK framework suggests that educators should have adequate technological, pedagogical and content knowledge for them to successfully enhance student learning, no matter which environment they are working in." Conclusions were based on a self-selected set of 140 respondents from a province not named "to protect the identities of the participants" (though the authors are from NorQuest College, in Alberta, so you can do the math). Not surprisingly, the vast majority felt confident in their content knowledge, and also not surprisingly, "more than 50% of the study participants reported that the quality of their practice declined as they shifted from face-to-face to remote teaching as a result of the pandemic," attributable to their lack of mastery of the full TPACK framework.
