A decade of unprecedented e-learning adoption and adaptation: Covid-19 revolutionizes teaching and learning at Papua New Guinea University of Technology (PNGUoT): “Is it a wave of change or a mere change in the wave?”

This study examined the question of whether the “emergency remote teaching” that was accidentally adopted during the pandemic will eventually lead to an acceleration of digitalizing the teaching and learning processes at PNGUoT. Utilizing a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, quantitative da...
