Abstract

A flu-like virus, COVID-19, has changed the course of tertiary education teaching and learning overnight. Universities globally, such as those in Australia, have been pushed to revise syllabi for face-to-face classroom teaching suited for online remote learning. This study adapts Connelly and Clandinin's narrative inquiry method to retrace the experience of an Economic English course coordinator's effort to quickly adapt to online education. It retells the coordinator's stories of engaging in the process under certain constraints and discusses the impact of COVID-19 in higher education. Implications and recommendations are given to conclude the chapter.
