Taking the form of autoethnography as interpreted using Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), this article documents the introduction of synchronous online teaching (aka videoconferencing) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) as along with everyone else they suspended face-to-face classes during the pandemic.
