Abstract :The enforced rapid transition to online/distance education in 2020 created immeasurable disruption both for the faculty and students in HE contexts. The present study discusses whether an opportunity is born out of a globally experienced challenge for university instructors and students to develop new and transformative roles. The data for the present study were collected during the third term of distance education through a survey conducted with 112 students and 9 faculty members and semi-structured interviews with a convenient sampling of students and faculty members of an English department in Istanbul, Turkey. The findings indicated that online education enabled students to become more active and self-directed learners and faculty members to develop newer roles and strategies as course designers and mentors. The findings revealed an in-depth understanding of the experience and yielded implications for the viability of applications of distance/online/blended modes of learning and teaching.
