Abstract
COVID-19 has thrust much of higher education into a liminal space, where norms and
conventional wisdom no longer operate as they once did. While recognizing the devastating
societal effects wrought by the pandemic, viewing higher education’s ongoing response in this
way invites us to consider how we can embrace this moment as an opportunity for
transformational change. This chapter addresses how institutions can leverage the massive and
sudden move to remote teaching sparked by COVID-19 to foster a culture of academic
innovation. It highlights one university system’s efforts to help a diverse, decentralized, and
differentially resourced set of institutions pivot from a crisis response to robust, technology enhanced
teaching and learning that is sustained past the crisis period.
