“…The first observation is that, despite a gradual integration of online courses in HE institutions over the past decade (Sistek-Chandler, 2019), very few universities were prepared for the radical change imposed by the pandemic (Sutton & Jorge, 2020). Second, attempts to develop contingency plans highlighted that the nature of HE education, pre-COVID-19, was predominately ICT (Sangster, Stoner, & Flood, 2020).…”

Sport coaching researchers have provided generous recommendations on the importance of developing coach education programs based on learner-centered teaching (LCT) principles. However, empirical studies are rare, and without concrete examples, administrators and instructors will be reluctant to adopt this approach. In this case study, we used Weimer’s (2002, 2013) five dimensions of LCT to analyze (a) the perspective of a recognized researcher in the LCT coach development field, (b) his course plan and delivery strategy, and (c) the students’ perceptions of this course. A qualitative approach was used and included different tools to collect the data. The first two authors attended all the lessons, participated in all the learning activities, and took notes in a reflective journal. At the end of the semester, they conducted a semi-structured interview to get the instructor’s perspective on the LCT approach. Finally, an e-mail was sent to the students to collect their perceptions. The data were analyzed and interpreted using concept mapping, and Weimer’s five dimensions. The results showed that (a) most of the LCT dimensions were respected in the planning and delivery of the course, (b) there were times when the instructor felt uncomfortable playing a less important role, and (c) most students had positive learning experiences, although some have been taken out of their comfort zone with this new teaching approach. The article ends with a reflection on the recent impact of COVID-19 on education in Higher Education (HE).

“…There is no doubt that the COVID-19 has brought multiple challenges to accounting education. Nonetheless, there was also space for opportunity (Sangster, Stoner, & Flood, 2020). According to perceptions of accounting instructors, this was the time to realign teaching and learning strategies besides the traditional education format (Sangster et al, 2020).…”

“…According to perceptions of accounting instructors, this was the time to realign teaching and learning strategies besides the traditional education format (Sangster et al, 2020). In Brazil, Professors Claudio A. Wanderley and Kate E. Horton (as cited in Sangster et al, 2020) have suggested that the adoption of the remote education model has saved time due to lengthy commutes between the university and work/home. This model also reflects the digitalization of the accounting profession (Sangster et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this work is two-fold. First, it intends to discuss and reflect on the transition from faceto-face to remote learning in accounting education because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And second, it presents the results of a netnography study conducted at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil (March and April of 2020). I also provide some personal experiences during these times. In section 2, I provide key technology resources I found helpful for accounting instructors and students. In section 3, I discuss the implications for instructors and students brought by the COVID-19. I especially appreciate the effors that both instructors and students are doing to keep their academic lives going, despite all the adversity. In section 4, I describe a netnography study in which I examined data from a graduate students' Facebook community. And in section 5, I report closing thoughts.

This article focuses on the sustainable education and information technologies. It analysis the importance of the online education and the benefits it can bring, especially in the light of the recent massive online teaching and home office working mode during the COVID-19 pandemic, The flexibility of the education tools that include the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) appears a great facet of the sustainable education that might help to contribute to mitigating the climate change and to prepare responsible citizens who would adhere to the principles of the sustainable development. The article concludes with a call to integrate the concept of sustainable information into educational programmes for computer scientists and future ICT professionals. In addition, it suggests that information technologies should find a wider use in promoting sustainable development as a part of the sustainable education.
