This 150-page report presents results of a survey of 73 faculty from 48 research universities in the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and elsewhere, about how they have adjusted to the sudden shift to online education precipitated by the coronavirus pandemic.The study presents data and commentary from faculty about a myriad of issues pertaining to their online efforts. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: which technologies are being used and by what kinds of faculty and in what circumstances? Who is using Zoom? Skype? Canvas? WebEx? Google Hangouts? Microsoft Teams? The report covers a very broad range of applications with highly specific data about the use of each, enabling readers to pinpoint the use of Zoom by subject area, or the use of Skype by the age of the end user. The study also gives detailed commentary from the 73 participants about the problems that they are encountering with various applications and how they are overcoming them. Participants also discuss their use of and preference for synchronous and asynchronous methods, and their general use in online instruction of YouTube and other video sharing sites, as well as use of class listservs, Twitter, Facebook and other communications vehicles.
