In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of innovative educational technologies, there arose a need for a transformative change in education. Therefore, a taskforce of Librarians, IT technologists, and Academics was established to reshape teaching and library services post pandemic by providing guidance for AUB-FM’s educational programs to ease the transformation and to sustain skill development.

This presentation will cover the taskforce’s findings through a roadmap that includes the identified gaps, recommendations, pedagogy and e-learning tech-tools (gamification, virtual learning, augmented reality) and assessment tools. Also, the methodology and the collaboration process between the stakeholders will be presented.
