With new technologies come limitations. As online learning and screen-sharing applications become more seamless, one must remain mindful of requirements to prevent the inadvertent sharing of sensitive information when teaching. Compared to face-to-face teaching, the response-lag and loss of non-verbal cues mean that a teacher has to work harder to be inclusive and personalised in a live session 4 .

Design of pre-recorded or asynchronous teaching needs to avoid being a simple lecture recording by incorporating active learning and maximising digital engagement 5 . In addition, trainees in difficulty might need extra attention to avoid becoming more invisible.

We hope life in radiology departments will return to a new normal promptly, but anticipate that ongoing changes to the environment will not only affect our clinical practice but also our education, including local training, exam preparation courses and congresses. We must capitalise on the swift integration of online learning into radiology education and maintain these positive changes into the post-COVID period.
