Teaching Business Analytics during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Tale of Two Courses
Abstract
We describe our experience in teaching two different levels of undergraduate business analytics courses during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic In particular, we focus on two challenges that arose during the shift to emergency remote teaching: 1) engaging students and 2) teaching students how to use software We discuss our efforts to mitigate the effects of these problems and highlight the differences in implementing our strategies in a general-education (i e , required for business majors) course versus an upper-level elective Finally, we discuss lessons learned and recommendations for other educators regardless of their teaching modality © 2021 by the Association for Information Systems
