Abstract
This chapter is a personal narrative examining how faculty responded to transitioning to the on-line course delivery modality during COVID-19. Using social constructivist philosophical orientation and pedagogies to explore self-identity, the author examines how life-long learning is stifled due to myriad conditions in academe.
