Abstract
COVID-19 has enforced work from home (WFH) in all the sectors to continue their operations; university education is not an exception. Both the public and the private universities of Bangladesh have to adopt online teaching to reduce academic loss. As teaching from home (TFH) is a new work arrangement for the teachers, this chapter explores their experiences. Different challenges regarding teaching and research activities, work-life balance, financial condition, and physical and mental state have been identified from in-depth interviews with 30 teachers from both types of universities. Some positive experiences have also been found, which indicates that the effect of TFH depends on variables like age, gender, marital status, number of dependents, and the type of university. The findings of this study provide a lens to look at the prospect of TFH for future use.
