COVID-2019 Impacts on Education Systems and Future of Higher Education
This special issue belongs to the section "Higher Education".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid outbreak of the COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges on education systems. Closing schools and universities and cancelling all face-to-face activities have become a COVID-19 inevitable reality in most parts of the world. To be business-as-usual, many higher education providers are taking steps toward digital transformation and implementing a range of remote teaching, learning and assessment approaches. However, many practical matters are yet to be solved.
This Special Issue will provide timely research on COVID-19 impacts on education systems and will cover original articles and review articles. It seeks to bring together scholars, educators, policymakers and practitioners to collectively and critically identify, investigate and share best practices that lead to rethinking and reframing the way we deliver education in future.
