Background:
The present pandemic has forced academicians and professionals to adopt online teaching. For structural geology instructors, this has been challenging since there are three aspects of teaching the subject- theory, practical, and fieldwork. Out of these while theory can (somehow) be taught online, the latter two aspects through online mode are not so easy and definitely require special planning. There has been an ongoing discussion amongst instructors worldwide, both intra- and inter-department, on how to tackle online teaching of structural geology for these aspects, the difficulties they found in online teaching, and how they tackled the situation.
The planned book will be a platform where instructors worldwide will share their experiences. This will help others to get ready with their online teaching.
