Discussions arising from: Insights into accounting education in a COVID-19 world

- Friday 13 November 2020

Lead by Alan Sangster , Greg Stoner & Barbara Flood

The impact of COVID-19 on universities, faculty, students, and administrators was rapid, unplanned, and extreme. In March, within the space of 1-2 weeks, sometimes only days, sometimes one day, teaching and research moved online. Faculty had to cope, had to deliver, had no choice. This webinar considers the findings of a study involving 66 accounting educators from 45 countries into the impact of COVID-19 on accounting education and the issues and solutions they found that we may embrace as we move into a future very different from the one we knew pre-COVID. The topics to be covered will include difficulties encountered in delivery and design, assessment, stress of students and staff, loss of community, opportunities for change, and challenges and fears for the future of accounting education.

This workshop will discuss the issues arising from the paper published by the presenters:
