| Summary: | Abstract
This study aims to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on digital teaching practices of some AUC faculty in different disciplines. In addition, the study aims to address lessons learned from the COVID-19 experience of the chosen faculty sample and what digital literacies they gained from this experience that they are still using currently in their face-to-face (F2F) classes. The study analyzed the data using both the Community of Inquiry Model (CoI) which highlights three elements in an online course that foster student engagement incorporating emotional presence and the PICRAT framework (PIC) (passive, interactive, creative) which highlights the student’s relationship with technology in a particular educational scenario while (RAT) (replacement, amplification, transformation) explains technology’s impact on a teacher’s previous practice as well as understanding faculty’s digital literacies in the lens of Belshaw’s eight essential elements of digital literacy.
