The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to the teaching and learning paradigms in higher education, necessitating the adoption of new approaches, technologies, and resilience. The disruption caused to higher education operations has raised concerns about the adaptability and readiness of HEIs to handle major disasters.

Focusing particularly on developing countries in Africa and the Global South, The Emerald Handbook of Higher Education in a Post-Covid World emphasizes the urgent need to reform pedagogical models and recognize the importance of digital learning technologies, tools, and the power of the Internet to expand the range of teaching approaches, practices, and learning interaction options. In an age where information communication technology and mobile devices have become commonplace in the daily lives of students, academic leaders, and HE practitioners, the handbook highlights the significance of adapting teaching strategies to leverage these technologies effectively.

Contributors to the handbook address the importance of supporting individual students in learning communities, even when they are physically separated by space. They also emphasize the need to safeguard the social and emotional well-being of students as they engage and learn through mediated communication systems in a fundamentally changed HE environment that may not fully revert to previous models.

The volume offers perspectives from contributors across multiple nations and settings, written in a forthright yet engaging manner. It is essential reading for higher education staff, researchers, and policy makers to ensure higher education across the world is prepared to offer the best quality teaching and learning in the COVID and Post-Covid world.
