(2021) INFM10 20211Department of Informatics
- Abstract
- COVID-19 pandemic caused massive disruption to livelihoods and the education sector was not spared as forced closures of academic institutions became widespread triggering a shift to e-learning. In response, governments swiftly moved to confinement, lockdown, or curfew measures to strongly curtail travel and movement of people. Educational activities, among other facets of life, came to an abrupt halt. During this adversity, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), the world over, and particularly Lund University in Sweden, took it upon to make sure that teaching and learning is not completely disrupted with the use of technology in COVID-19 times. This paper highlights on major impacts of COVID-19 on HEIs and sought to determine how Lund... (More)

Learning and educational levers of power alongside HEIs took steps to ascertain continuity in teaching, research, and learning throughout the pandemic.
