Under tiden för covid-19-pandemin infördes olika typer av restriktioner. Vissa av dessa kom att påverka skolorna som var tvungna att frångå reguljär undervisning och i stället bedriva undervisning på distans. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur yrkeslärares didaktik och mellanmänskliga kontakter förändrats under tiden med undervisning på distans. Studien bygger på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem informanter. Fyra centrala teman framkom: digitala verktyg, engagemang, didaktiska överväganden samt relationer. Studiens resultat visar att yrkeslärarna till stor del har fått förändra sina didaktiska metoder. Ingen av lärarna hade tidigare erfarenhet av det arbetssättet som kom att användas. Lektionsplaneringar fick revideras och de didaktiska valen omvärderas.  Den mellanmänskliga kontakten kom också att förändras när mötet med eleverna skedde på distans i stället för i skolan.
