This disease is severely contagious and necessitates social or physical distancing between persons. As such, traditional face-to-face learning is not advised and teachers need to shift to online teaching. There are challenges to online teaching and learning for students, teachers, and the higher education institute, e.g. hardware, bandwidth, and software issues. These will be difficult but these can be overcome eventually. This work is a personal account of the old normal or traditional way of teaching Organic Chemistry and the transition to the new normal of teaching on-line. On-line teaching can be as effective as traditional teaching but everyone has to put in effort and participate in training to get used to this. In the end, it is the teacher’s being a true teacher that matters, that the teacher teaches to the best of his or her ability even during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. 2020-06-25T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://archium.ateneo.edu/chemistry-faculty-pubs/171 https://archium.ateneo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1170&context=chemistry-faculty-pubs Chemistry Faculty Publications Archīum Ateneo Chemistry teaching Organic chemistry Laboratory Classes COVID-19 Chemistry Online and Distance Education Organic Chemistry Science and Mathematics Education
