Title: A synthesis of surveys examining the impacts of COVID-19 and emergency remote learning on students in Canada Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic numerous institutions around the world have surveyed students to gain an understanding of their experiences. While these surveys are valuable at a local level, researchers are still unsure as to which findings from individual surveys reflect the broader environment, and which themes are consistent across student surveys. It is worthwhile therefore, to synthesize survey findings in order to explore patterns and potentially new understandings that may arise from such analysis. In this paper, we reviewed and synthesized 21 surveys examining the impacts of COVID-19 and emergency remorse learning on approximately 155,000 student respondents in Canada. Findings reveal that the impacts of COVID-19 and emergency remote learning on students centered around (1) educational experiences, (2) mental health and wellbeing, (3) financial concerns, (4) impact on future plans, and (5) recommendations for future practice.
