Online Higher Education in The Business Under Pandemic and Emergent Conditions

Abstract

This study aims to examine how faculty members can utilize IT-based group assignment functions in higher education under online, hybrid, and conventional educational settings. For this purpose, the author reviews the related articles and discusses proper pedagogical techniques and practices. Based on such considerations, suggestions on how to utilize the group assignment box in the Desire to Learn (D2L) online educational platform for students in the conventional classroom, online, and hybrid classes are offered. Students, faculty members, and practitioners in the business and other disciplines are expected to derive implications on how to manage flexible online educational modules for those dealing with unexpected changes and issues.
