This is a review (26 page PDF) of 36 articles outlining "eight strategies used by higher education lecturers and students to maintain educational continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic." This includes five teaching and three learning strategies (view image). It notes, "The eight teaching and learning strategies effectively maintained test scores and attendance/completion rates, but many challenges surfaced during teaching, learning, and assessment." According to the authors, "Lecturers designed classroom replication, online practical skills training, online assessment integrity, and student engagement strategies to boost online learning quality, but students who used ineffective online participation strategies had poor engagement." Overall, "students may not successfully learn asynchronously unless they can effectively self-direct learning." Which, I think, we knew, but it's a finding worth replicating.
