“…Noticeably, the results obtained from the SWOT analysis clearly demonstrate the non-uniformity of opinions about online education. For instance, many respondents are inclined to exalt the positive effects while many others highlight the negative ones, in line with the contradictory results achieved by previous studies on this subject (Castro Sánchez and Chirino Alemán, 2013;Gu et al, 2012;Gupta et al, 2014;Han and Prybutok, 2012;Paulraj et al, 2011). In particular, it has been reported that online education may not be effective for all type of courses, for example STEAM ones, in line with prior studies that did not find a systematic dominant role of online education compared to traditional education for nursing courses (McCutcheon et al, 2015).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the global population to modify social habits. In particular, during 2020 the majority of educational institutions worldwide had to shift from the traditional face-to-face to the online teaching methodology, leading to a consequential debate -among instructors, citizens, media, and government -about its advantages and disadvantages. To realise a comprehensive evaluation of online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, the following research question has been formulated: "What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of online teaching that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic?" In order to provide an answer, a three-round Delphi study was implemented involving 12 editorial board members of the International Journal of Information and Operations Management Education, whose opinions were mediated and synthesised in a SWOT analysis. From the SWOT analysis, a series of strategies has been developed to help policy makers and instructors in adopting a strategising view towards online teaching.
