Creating an Agile University During COVID: A Case Study of the American University of Afghanistan
Abstract
The world has seen conflict and political instability since World War II, but currently the world is uniting to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, although education has suffered with schools and universities closed for long periods. The practice of social distancing minimized interpersonal contact in all higher educational institutions. Afghanistan was catapulted into the online learning community despite having limited infrastructure. The American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) had faced disruption of normal university life in 2016 when terrorists attacked the university. This chapter will highlight some of the best practices at AUAF implemented to make the university agile. Secondary data was collected from the university to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning, with further improvements identified, implemented, and evaluated. The findings show that while the campus prepared to open for students along with the HyFlex model of face to face, synchronous online, and asynchronous online teaching, the institution continues to remain agile, irrespective of the situation.
