Abstract: Prior to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, eLearning had expanded into the majority of areas of education delivery. Consequently, it is prudent that teachers of research methods and statistics develop expertise regarding the effective use of eLearning technologies. The aim of this chapter is to critically examine the teaching and learning of research methods and statistics in eLearning environments pre-, during, and post-pandemic. First, the use of eLearning technologies with an emphasis on pre-pandemic trends in eLearning and pedagogical principles that are pertinent to research methods and statistics is assessed. Second, the challenges that the pandemic presents to teachers and learners of research methods and statistics in eLearning environments are appraised and the emerging pandemic pedagogy evaluated. Third, possible futures and challenges in a post-pandemic world that are pertinent to eLearning and teachers of research methods and statistics are considered. Finally, a tentative post-pandemic research methods and statistics pedagogy is proposed.
