Abstract

This study examined the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on academic life at a British Columbia university. Analyzing professors’ and graduate students’ views using Q methodology and guided by activity theory, this study focused on the shift to emergency remote teaching. Participants ranked and sorted a 51-statement concourse, revealing a solution that reflected the shared values and beliefs held by those clustering together in each of four factors: Digitally Overwhelmed, Digital Optimists, Non-Digital Traditionalists, and Digital Empaths. These diverse perspectives offer valuable insights, enabling educational leaders to better adapt to support students and educators in a rapidly changing academic environment.
