Publisher's Synopsis
We are proud to introduce this book Perspectives on Higher Education: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Designed to provide different perspectives on contemporary topics in higher education from an international perspective, this book is the first in a series of quick guides for those working and learning in universities around the globe. Presented against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, this book brings together topics relevant to higher education, such as learning, teaching, assessment, and research. It aims to help readers acquire an understanding of how the higher education system might function under stress by sketching a conceptual map for the interested reader. The aim of this book is not to prescribe one singular approach to crisis situations in higher education, but to explore a wide range of perspectives from around the world in all their richness. The text is intertwined with practical case studies, viewpoints, and comments in order to contextualise the recommendations given.
