As a result of its sheer global impact and scale, COVID-19 has unintentionally become a change agent that has activated, accelerated, and shaped the future of learning. As we emerge out of the pandemic and transition to a new normal, what are the innovations and shifts being made by educators, institutions and agencies that are likely to transform the future of learning?
This edited volume cordially invites submissions on a wide range of topics, collected from actual case studies, reflective essays, as well as authentic examples shared around the globe. Chapters that focus on the ways in which institutions and educators are transitioning and adapting to new ways of engaging with learners and industries in response to Industry 4.0 and the need to upskill and reskill in the context of lifelong learning will be of particular interest.
