The goal of this project was to partner with Oteima University in western Panama to evaluate the University’s current online teaching efforts during the 2020 pandemic, and to provide recommendations in regard to their remote English programs. Working remotely from Massachusetts, our investigation gathered information on students’ and professors’ current perceptions of their educational programs and learning methods through faculty interviews and a student questionnaire. Our results indicate that a lack of reliable Internet access was the main issue students were facing. The project provided Oteima with recommendations to record online lectures, implement online office hours, continue the use of Moodle, and allow students to choose between online and in-person classes in the future.
