- About
The integration of technology into the higher education sector advanced slowly through the first two decades of the 21st century. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, faculty around the world were forced to rapidly adopt a wide assortment of technologies to virtually connect with their students. Almost immediately, many faculty began to experiment with online learning tools and practices to improve the efficacy of their teaching. These experiments produced many lessons. Unfortunately, channels for sharing these lessons remain quite limited, making it difficult for a broad population of faculty to learn from the experiences of their peers.
The Future of Digital Higher Education shares key insights of academic pioneers who found great success with the integration of technology into their higher education teaching during the pandemic. It also explores areas of opportunity for improvement; topics for future research; and provides valuable insights for future capital investment by both institutions of higher learning and the developers of digital education technology.
