This document contains the results of that survey. (Methods) In early May 2020, invitations to complete a brief survey on postsecondary peer assisted learning (PAL) programs and their operation online in response to Covid-19 were posted to several national and international email listservs. Directors from 45 programs completed the survey. Since the survey was anonymous, it is impossible to know the institutional type and their locations. It is a reasonable guess that most respondents were from the U.S. with others from Australasia, Europe, and North America. As promised, the survey results are presented as they were received without data analysis. It is with deep gratitude to the program directors for taking time from the busiest time in the academic term in the middle of this pandemic to share valuable information with our world community of PAL professionals. (Results) Their comments were candid and honest about the things that went well and those that did not. The survey statements were grouped into six categories that included: needed equipment and meeting software, approaches and activities, program evaluation, expectations for participants and students leaders, and more. (Implications) Best education practices for providing online academic support were shared that can be studied by others as they make plans for fall 2020 academic term which may be offered online.enpedagogycollege studentspeer and group learninglearning and teaching in higher educationstudent engagement and motivationteaching methodsacademic accesscooperative learningcurriculum and instructioneducational technologyeffective use of peer assisted learningfacilitatorhigher and postsecondary educationiPadlearning and teaching in higher educationlearning assistancelearning communitieslearning technologiespeer assisted learningPeer-Led Team LearningSupplemental Instructionpostsecondary peer cooperative learning groupsprogram implementationprogram evaluationsocial mediatechnologyDataset10.13140/RG.2.2.15129.85609
