Redesigning Curriculum and Using Technologies During Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning in Higher Education in Bangladesh

Abstract

This chapter is based on the experiences of academics who redesigned their curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic to teach remotely in Bangladesh. It examined (1) how the higher educational institutions used their existing curriculum to respond to the emergency and to what extent they could benefit from educational technologies, (2) to what extent it was necessary to redesign the curriculum, and (3) the factors that could be taken into account during the redesigning of the curriculum in light of the emergency and researchers' understanding of the situation. Existing literature has been explored and summarised along with some reflections from practitioners who never taught remotely or online..
