Abstract: This communication presents a partial historical summary of some of Iowa State University's Chemistry Department teaching response to the shift to online course delivery caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The observations reflect discussions between and informal surveys of an instructor cohort that impacted roughly 1200 undergraduate students. These students were enrolled in general chemistry I, organic chemistry II, inorganic chemistry, quantum mechanics, and chemistry for nonphysical-science majors. The paper highlights the challenges faced and describes how faculty and students met them.
