Abstract

The disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic caused academic staff from around the world to convert to online methods of teaching. At the University of Western Australia, this transition was implemented half way through semester one. This commentary provides an overview of the changes made for a physical chemistry first year unit. We provide analysis into the lessons that we learned having gone through the process and how we can use this experience to improve the unit in the future.
