Traditional universities shifted to online teaching during the Covid emergency. Sapienza University of Rome as well as other institutions provided professors with dedicated training opportunities to maintain their academic excellence despite the crisis. Professors had different reactions depending on their background varying from adapting their teaching style to the situation simulating F2F lessons in a virtual environment to adopting new approaches and styles of teaching. Now situation is completely different, but the question is if professors appreciated their courses and if they still feel the desire to be more trained, A survey produced within the project Erasmus+ SOULSS was distributed in the Academic Year 2022- 23 among professors belonging to Italian universities to explore their attitude toward the training they had on online learning during the emergency in relation to their actual teaching style and their attitude toward the ended COVID-19 emergency in terms of possible epocal-change momentum. The total number of answers allow us to provide an overview of the way professors see COVID-19 emergency now that it has been officially declared ended. The study allows us to analyze the impact of last-minute organized training courses about online learning during the emergency and their impact in back-to-thenormal academic life three years after.
