Teaching in Times of Crisis For many educators, responding to the arrival of COVID-19 last year meant shifting to entirely online instruction with little notice, often a staggering endeavor. Yet Johannes Kepler University Linz’s Elke Schüßler and University of Innsbruck’s Leonhard Dobusch went a step further. Not only did the two professors shift to all-online instruction—they created an entire course that responded to the moment in both form and content. First offered in the spring of 2020, Organizing in Times of Crisis: The Case of Covid19 , not only made use of a full suite of digital tools, it pulled together a thorough array of readings on the implications of a crisis in the process of unfolding. Now recognized with an Ideas Worth Teaching Award for their course, we spoke with Elke and Leonhard about what it takes to pull together rigorous teaching in response to headline-making news.
