Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the global population to modify social habits. In particular, during 2020 the majority of educational institutions worldwide had to shift from the traditional face-to-face to the online teaching methodology, leading to a consequential debate - among instructors, citizens, media, and government - about its advantages and disadvantages. To realise a comprehensive evaluation of online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, the following research question has been formulated: "What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of online teaching that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic?" In order to provide an answer, a three-round Delphi study was implemented involving 12 editorial board members of the International Journal of Information and Operations Management Education, whose opinions were mediated and synthesised in a SWOT analysis. From the SWOT analysis, a series of strategies has been developed to help policy makers and instructors in adopting a strategising view towards online teaching.
