Abstract

This chapter examines the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown on learning and teaching at the University of Sunderland in London from the lenses of both students and academic staff using a quantitative approach. Thus, quantitative data was collected from both staff and students using a cross-sectional online survey. The chapter concludes that the challenges faced by students during the transition to online teaching included insufficient IT skills, insufficient IT equipment, poor internet connectivity, and inconvenient space at home. The chapter also conclude that from both staff and students’ perspective, student learning, engagement and attainment was negatively affected during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown at the University of Sunderland in London. These findings have policy implications for the management of the University of Sunderland in London in particular and the UK higher education sector in general.
