"Which regions adapted best to digital learning, which digital tools saw the greatest uptick in use, and how this ongoing experience may shift the demand for in-person, online, and blended learning"

Higher education is being transformed by COVID-19. As the world continues to grapple with the pandemic and the resulting economic shockwaves, tertiary education providers are trying to plan for a ‘new normal’ that relies on digital practices. To better understand how this is reshaping higher education, both in the near and medium-term, IFC, in association with L.E.K. Consulting’s Global Education Practice conducted an extensive survey of providers and students around the world. Thirty-five higher education institutions and more than 17,000 students were interviewed about the impact of the pandemic on the provision of education and students’ educational experience.

In this webinar in the IFC Education Webinar Series, presenters share the results and insights gained from this study. The authors were joined by IFC’s education experts to discuss which regions adapted best to digital learning, which digital tools saw the greatest uptick in use, and how this ongoing experience may shift the demand for in-person, online, and blended learning.
