ABSTRACT
The study demonstrates the learning losses in remote online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic and how online teaching can mitigate these losses. The findings were analyzed using descriptive statistics and theme analysis based on online surveys and focus groups collected. Significant learning losses occurred in an online learning environment due to reduced curricular content, a lack of student engagement, and holistic performance assessment. Unique and varied teaching tactics, such as optimizing the use of online tools and platforms, online teacher presence, and tailored evaluations, were discovered to assure optimal student learning. The University's e-readiness contributes to the e-learning success of the University's curriculum delivery. The findings provided in this paper have policy implications for curriculum review, performance assessment and evaluation in online learning, and intervention and development programs for online teachers.
