Since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic there has been many articles talking about the impact of the lockdowns on
the future of higher education. One of the areas of interest is the design and delivery of international higher education
and how COVID could be a catalyst for change. In this article they discuss the possibilities of online education, micro
credentials such as MOOCs as well as how this has an impact of international student mobility and how things such as the broader adaption of online and transnational education is providing more international students choices, including
the choice to study locally, and nationally. Challenges and recommendations are also discussed. It was found that
while online delivery had been a good alternative, there is a limit and it can impact the course quality.
Students see this as a great opportunity to be able to fulfill their personal, social academic and professional goals but further investment from the institutions is needed to provide them with the experience to keep
the model of delivery successful going forward.
