Academia's Digital Voice: A Conversation on 21st Century Higher Education provides critical information on an area that needs particular attention given the rapid introduction and immersion into digital technologies that took place during the pandemic, including quality assurance and assessment. Sections discuss the rapid changes called into question as student mobility, pedagogical readiness of academics, technological readiness of institutions, student readiness to adopt online learning, the value of higher education, the value of distance learning, and the changing role of administration and faculty were thrust upon institutions.

The unprecedented speed of international lockdowns caused by the pandemic necessitated HEIs to make rapid changes in both teaching and assessment approaches. The quality of these and sacrosanctity of the academic voice has long been the central tenet of higher education. While history is replete with challenges to this, the current, rapid shift to online education may represent the greatest threat and opportunity so far.

Focuses on the academic voice in HEI Presents an authentic message and mode for the new world we live in post COVID Includes a section on academic predictions for higher education institutions

Academic Quality and Integrity in the New Higher Education Digital Environment: A Global Perspective provides discussions on the work of three editors who have significant experience in the quality assurance of teaching and learning and have been developing approaches during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions on learning and teaching during the pandemic were concentrated on how academic institutions ensure quality of courses, and that academic integrity is maintained in all assessments in a digital environment, thus ensuring what is being delivered meets global standards and professional bodies have confidence in programs delivered by the higher education sector.

The area of quality assurance and academic integrity is thus critical in this new digital environment where significant educational programs will be delivered.

Provides updates on what university administrators are doing to face challenges on how to maintain the quality of their programs during digital learning Addresses concerns on the quality of their programs and academic integrity is maintained at all times Proposes new practices and innovative approaches to bring to the attention of stakeholders in a central depository so that there can be informed approaches in institutions and in the set up of regulatory practices

Digital Teaching, Learning and Assessment: The Way Forward is the result of the continuous discussion taking place in the teaching and learning space of what the future holds for academics and their stakeholders, post pandemic students. The editors of this book work in the teaching and learning domain and consider such discussion critical to ensure that students of the future are well serviced by all concerned. The book brings such discussions to one platform where academics, administrators and other stakeholders like researchers and regulatory bodies ponder ideas and practices and how the digital world will dominate and change the teaching/learning space. Provides the new post-pandemic audience a futuristic look at the new digital world Covers how practitioners perceive this new era Enables administrators to have a glance at the possibilities of teaching and learning of the future Gives regulatory bodies a glimpse of the future as they try to find how QA would be for such teaching and learning that deviates significantly from didactic approaches
