This was naturally more problematic for some courses and topics than for others; Computer Graphics and related courses (e.g. Visualization and Virtual Reality) may have been particularly challenging as they involve very specific Hardware and Software that typically students only have access to at their institutions’ premises. Nevertheless, this also brought opportunity to institutions, which should be better prepared to face new challenges, and perhaps to leverage this experience to foster a hybrid model of education with significant benefits.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">This Call addresses papers identifying and debating issues, presenting solutions, guidelines, and lessons learned based on the experience gained during these extraordinary times. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Please follow the submission guidelines for the Graphics & Visual Computing Journal as detailed in the guide to authors.
