Originating Calendar: CSAMES Events; When COVID-19 hit the nation, all schools had to shift to online learning. Several efforts have discussed online learning practices and digital transformation in different contexts and countries. However, discussing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on teaching and learning practices in the Arab World is not well explored.
