Today's special guest is Christopher M. Bland, Pharm.D., FCCP, FIDSA, BCPS Clinical Associate Professor at The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy. 

As country after country imposed partial or total lockdowns in February and March, in 2020, the number of universities and colleges closing down their campus, interrupting face-to face activities, and switching to e-learning soared on a daily basis, eventually affecting more than 200 million students globally.

However, few of these institutions were well prepared for the sudden, disruptive move. A lot of scrambling, improvisation, and continuous adaptation have occurred as administrators, academics, and students struggle to implement online learning.

Impact on Students. The abrupt closure of campuses and the rapid switch to online education have disrupted students’ lives all over the world. It’s no surprise that students from underrepresented groups (low-income students, girls and women, members of minority groups, and students with special needs) have been hit especially hard—economically, emotionally, and in terms of digital deprivation. In poorer countries, students from disadvantaged groups face even greater difficulties.
