The book explores the interplay between local instruments, resources, and preferences of specific universities and global platforms, ideas, and knowledge, raising important questions about the sustainability and adaptability of this hybrid approach. It examines whether the mix of local and global elements was sufficient to withstand the increasing competitiveness in the education sector and whether countries possessed the capacity to embrace significant technological changes in software. By comparing a \"developed\" country like the United States, the book highlights the disparities between these nations, encompassing economic, gender, political, social, and developmental dimensions. It sheds light on the inequalities that exist, such as infrastructural provisions and access, the role of women in society, the differences between public and private universities, accessibility across different social strata, and urban-rural divides. Through these insights, the book presents new hypotheses on widening global gaps, inviting further investigation and exploration into these critical issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 442g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811968525\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102731497722,"sku":"9789811968525","price":102.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d00a6bd8-b71b-41f2-82af-0801bbe9a1ac.jpg?v=1675623047","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/coronavirus-pandemic-online-education-impact-on-developing-countries-9789811968525","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
