Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced students and teachers to engage in emergency remote learning. Remote learning is particularly challenging for students and teachers in lowresource contexts. We aim to analyze the adaptation process of teachers who engaged in remote emergency teaching in low-resource contexts. We conduct ten interviews with teachers who provided emergency online teaching in Lebanon. We show that there was a decrease in synchronous student-teacher, student-content, and student-student interactions due to the scarcity of resources. We also show how the teachers adapted their practice to cope with these challenges, and how their adaptation process increased asynchronous student-teacher and student-content interactions.
