This book argues that beyond survival, universities need to adapt to technology-mediated communication learning to thrive. Disruptive technologies have recently proved to be means of thriving for institutions of higher learning. This is what one contributor calls ‘switching to SIDE-mode.’ They call for not just teaching for the sake of it, but teaching to communicate and to achieve the desired learning outcomes that seek to transform the whole person. Effective technology mediated teaching for communication does exactly that. Because universities are also research hubs, this book also addresses remote research. It reflects on how change in teaching and learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) has impacted Africa through digital transformation. In particular, institutions are collaborating more now than ever before. Finally, this book addresses the challenges of teaching STEM programs online in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that online education is no longer an option but an integral part of learning.
