Online education, including online teaching and learning, has been studied for decades. Numerous research studies, theories, models, standards, and evaluation criteria focus on quality online learning, online teaching, and online course design. What we know from research is that effective online learning results from careful instructional design and planning, using a systematic model for design and development.

And it is this careful design process that will be absent in most cases in these emergency shifts.

Online educators, sensitive to skepticism about the efficacy of online education, are concerned that faculty, parents and the general public will associate problems with emergency remote education with non-emergency online course design and teaching.
