This study examines the immediate, or short-term impact of COVID-19 on University professors and students. The article summarizes the experiences of faculty and students across six colleges from three different countries:
- Macalester College
- Chinese University of Hong Kong
- Okanagan College
- UT Austin
- Sinclair Community College
- Kennesaw State University

The study concludes that findings were varied, as some students and faculty found online learning easier and more flexible, while others struggled with issues like access to technology and stress. Additionally, the lack of hands-on work, like laboratory experience, has affected both students and faculty, and their futures.
