Online Teaching of Chemistry during the Period of COVID-19: Experience at a National University in Korea

Due to the concern for COVID-19, universities in Korea switched to online teaching in most chemistry courses in the spring semester, 2020. While online lectures have been available for a small number of courses in the previous semesters, it is unprecedented that most lectures should be given online. In this communication, we describe how higher education in chemistry has been made in the spring semester, 2020, mainly based on the experience of the author and colleagues, and address the insights gained that we would like to share. Admittedly, the experience is limited, and there are still unresolved challenges.
