Tackling Online Education: Implications of Responses to COVID-19 in Higher Education Globally

This volume brings together leading experts from eight countries (the USA, Canada, China, Japan, Sweden, India, Azerbaijan and Nigeria) to discuss how national conditions and institutions have shaped initial policy responses to COVID-19. These decisions and actions will have lasting effects on higher education in different national contexts. The book offers solutions to common pedagogical problems such as Zoom fatigue, compassion fatigue and lack of student engagement. It also addresses techniques and support for online teaching and learning including methods to most efficiently utilize technology. The combination of timeliness and international perspectives makes the volume a necessary addition to educators’ libraries. In addition, the framing of COVID-19 responses in terms of their international context and institutional cultures provides a new perspective and unique contribution to the literature for researchers, higher education administrators and policy makers alike.
