摘要:The emergent information and communication technologies (ICTs) have dramatically altered how highereducation institutions (HEIs) offer educational programs. New pedagogical approaches are born from technologies such as virtual or augmented learning platforms, hybrid classrooms, and e-learning courses (Chai et al., 2019). These technologies enabled HEIs to function in unprecedented crises including the COVID-19 pandemic, while increasing their outreach to adult learners (Abbas et al., 2021). This transition from traditional methods of instruction to a more modern style, however, can only be fruitful through policy implementations, structural changes, and shifts in educational philosophy (Bond et al., 2020; Lai & Dower, 2019). Yet, the extent to which HEIs successfully leverage and implement these new emerging technologies and how their institutional policymaking has impacted the adaptations of ICTs has not been fully explored. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate and document how technological advancements and HEIs evolve together to provide quality education.
