This 2024 publication, Online Education During COVID-19 and Beyond, edited by Silvia Puiu and Samuel O. Idowu, investigates the global transition to digital learning triggered by the pandemic. The text serves as a comprehensive academic overview, featuring twenty-one chapters that analyze the opportunities and obstacles faced by educational institutions across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Contributors explore critical themes such as sustainability, digital equity, and innovative pedagogy, including a unique Finnish study on using sauna-based sensory reflections to enhance student engagement. By evaluating diverse regional responses, the book seeks to establish sustainable management strategies for the future of global higher education. It emphasizes that while online tools offer unprecedented flexibility and accessibility, they must be balanced with traditional methods to support student well-being and social interaction.
