TPOD held its 2020 members’ congregation on November 27, 2020 in Tatung University, Taipei, Taiwan. 

Colleges and universities should first consider the acceptance and applicability of various software and hardware devices by teachers and students in the digital teaching operation in the post-epidemic era, and also address the digital gap between urban and rural areas and the fairness of resource allocation.  Institutes of higher education should consider whether students can accept teachers’ distance teaching methods, whether students get along to the rapid and large amounts of knowledge transformation and to the awareness competence on digital teaching and learning. The scholars in this conference look forward to asking what lessons COVID-19 can offer for the future of online and distance learning as well as the strategies for the prosperous development in higher education.
