Abstract

COVID-19 has disrupted university education and stirred all aspects of university life. Universities shifted to online teaching, learning, and assessments and were generally successful, but governments and societies became skeptical about the outcomes and the creditability of the degrees. This chapter presents the challenges faced by online education and weighs them against the benefits. The chapter also discusses the assumptions made during this transformation phase and their impact. The last part of the chapter presents a vision model of the future of online education and the newly created competitions between rich and poor universities and the move towards new opportunities of multiple-sourced degrees, virtual campuses, and virtual professors.
