Abstract

The abrupt closure of schools, colleges and universities due to the global pandemic of Covid-19 led to extraordinary work across the entire education system to support learners and local communities. The Open University Business School is leading research on how schools have strategically managed online learning during Covid-19 and if and how new experiences during lockdown have created long term sustainable changes in relation to the way education is managed and delivered. One of our key research questions investigates whether changes and new ways of doing things, implemented during Covid-19, are going to have a long-term effect on the vision of education to come. 60 one-to-one interviews with school leaders have been collated during the pandemic sharing the lived experiences of how leaders have led the continuity of learning. The lockdown challenges of moving to online learning, adopting the use of digital technology and the involvement and engagement of stakeholders have been substantial challenges for educators, which has led to new opportunities and successes in the way we support learning.
