N2 - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions worldwide have been facing the imperative of shifting to emergency remote teaching (ERT). This paper presents a case study of ERT at the Macao Polytechnic University, measuring the effectiveness of ERT in light of first-year student engagement. A first-year student engagement survey, using an instrument adapted from the US National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), was conducted in the 2019/2020 cohort after about one month of ERT in 2020. The results were compared to those of the first-year student engagement surveys conducted respectively in 2019 (before the pandemic) and in 2021 (in the post-pandemic era), assessing the extent to which students were engaged in ERT with the objective of contributing to enhanced practices in the delivery of ERT during crises.
