Abstract

Higher education has continued to evolve over the years with more learners pursuing their degrees in an online model. Disruptions such as COVID-19 have created a magnitude of challenges for academic institutions. The default has been to ensure access of higher education through online courses and degree programs. The success of online education will significantly be dependent on colleges and universities developing and implementing student-centric strategies and providing individual student needs.  In general, we predict that online higher education will become a norm, but that many schools will fail to adopt student centric online programming fast enough to save themselves from shut down. 

Keywords: online education, digital education, higher education, pandemic, Western Governors University, Mega- Universities
