Abstract
Following the declaration of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as pandemic by the World Health Organization in the first quarter of 2019, all countries had to shut schools and switch into online schooling to continue operating under the pandemic circumstance. Mongolia was no exception. Like many other universities across the world, the National University of Mongolia has developed a “temporary” online teaching guideline to assist its academic staff in delivering online courses effectively. However, the pandemic circumstance has not been “temporary” as expected in the beginning, and the university is now already entering into its third quarter of online teaching since the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The high possibility of the pandemic circumstance to well extend into the end of this year, or even further, advocates the elaboration of a comprehensive teaching and learning guideline that thoroughly suitably discusses all aspects of online education, particularly the assessment, for use in online teaching in crisis situations including this pandemic or any other similar circumstance which we cannot foresee.
