IDEAS for Transforming Higher Education: An Overview of Ongoing Trends and Challenges
The recent unexpected impact of the global pandemic on higher education has caused universities, governments, students, and teachers to reexamine all components of existing systems, including how to become more effective and efficient in using technologies for education. We have seen that moving cl...
