Abstract

COVID-19 presented traditional higher education institutions with challenges that most did not meet. Unpredicted lockdown forced them to move all pedagogical processes online overnight. Institutions and academics with some online teaching experiences transited more smoothly than others. Many researchers mainly reported the negative impact of the lockdown on students’ well-being and achievements. In the paper, we present a case of how lockdown could be an excellent opportunity to improve students’ success and reach goals that were unreachable before. Business Informatics was a hard nut for business students for years, and teachers did not know how to deal with it. Adapting course learning design to lockdown situations, wise use of existing digital (and non-digital) technologies, interactive and supportive learning environments significantly improve course accomplishment rates.
