Abstract:
Inspired by a range of research on educational practices during the pandemic (see IAFOR’s 2021 special issue: COVID-19: Education response to a pandemic), this research attempted to report a case study of an online university course teaching in Indonesian International Islamic University, a graduate university that set to open its academic calendar in October 2021. Most studies about online teaching in higher education are predominantly on the context of existing educational practices that have been disrupted by pandemics. The university under study was forced to run all academic activities fully online and was challenged to ensure that the synchronous course session happens at the time that is sensible for international students living in different time zones. With a focus on one course as the primary data site, this study uses the instructor’s self-reflection, course observation, and students interviews as the data sources. To orient the research, a recent study on online university teaching during the pandemic especially Boivin and Welby (2021) provides a research model about navigating the challenges of online teaching during the pandemics. Other study that acknowledges the internal and external forces that influence the academic process and development (Law & Xun, 2021) also enhances the orientation of the study.
