* Item Description

This book critically examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated innovation within higher education using case studies from Africa. Imagining a future for post-pandemic higher education, it analyses the challenges and opportunities of remote teaching and learning.

Th explores the structural barriers around access to higher education and how these were reconfigured and amplified by technology-dependent teaching and learning. Case studies from countries across Africa provide unique insights into the challenges experienced by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic, examining examples of emergent pedagogies such as online, mobile and social media-enhanced teaching, and blended learning. The chapters consider online assessment and teacher professional development, critically examining some of the benefits and structural challenges of technology integration in the context of pre-existing education disparities (such as students and teachers living in poverty-stricken and highly unequal societies).

Offering invaluable insights into higher education in Africa, th will be essential reading for researchers, scholars, and students in the fields of higher education study, education and educational technology, and African and comparative education. It will also be of interest to higher education managers and policymakers.
