The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted education in ways that academic institutions, scholars, administrators, educators, and students will strive to fully comprehend for years to come. The global spread of SARSCoV2 in early 2020 prompted social distancing as the primary countermeasure against contracting and spreading the novel coronavirus, which in turn led academic communities worldwide to suddenly transition to emergency remote teaching (ERT) in order to maintain educational continuity. This review of the literature synthesizes findings from 38 empirical studies set in higher education about ERT in 2020 from all over the world. A thematic analysis of findings produced four major themes: 1) diverse ERT experiences; 2) digital divide and vast educational/socio economic inequalities; 3) commonly-experienced ERT problems, issues, and challenges; and 4) frequently-made adjustments in response to ERT. Findings are indicative of the immediate aftermath of transitions to ERT, and open areas of research for long-term impacts of ERT are discussed.

全球在线教学速成课程：COVID-19 第一年高等教育实证紧急远程教学 (ERT) 研究的专题回顾

COVID-19 大流行以学术机构、学者、管理人员、教育工作者和学生将在未来几年努力充分理解的方式影响了教育。2020 年初 SARSCoV2 的全球传播促使社会疏远成为对抗感染和传播新型冠状病毒的主要对策，这反过来又导致全球学术界突然过渡到紧急远程教学 (ERT) 以保持教育的连续性。这篇文献综述综合了来自世界各地的 2020 年高等教育中关于 ERT 的 38 项实证研究的结果。对调查结果的主题分析产生了四个主要主题：1）多样化的 ERT 经验；2) 数字鸿沟和巨大的教育/社会经济不平等；3) 常见的 ERT 问题、问题和挑战；4) 针对 ERT 的频繁调整。调查结果表明向 ERT 过渡的直接后果，并讨论了 ERT 长期影响的开放研究领域。
