It remained the COVID-19 pandemic that forced sudden and major alterations in institutions of education around the world. Online and hybrid methods were used instead of in-person teaching which had a strong impact on teaching methods, how involved students were, how things were assessed and the experience students had at school. The research objective is to find out how learning and teaching evolved both in and after the pandemic, examining changes in teaching methods, use of digital tools, interactions between faculty and students and the ability of institutions to cope with change. Both survey results (primary data) and readings from notable reports and journals (secondary sources) are used in this research to study and explain the extent of the changes. In short, digital learning introduced new options but also exposed problems in access to education online, computer skills and mental health.
