Description
Summary:The Covid-19 Pandemic impacted the world in an unprecedented manner, forcing billions of people into changing their lifestyles. One of the seriously impacted sectors was the education one, with school and university closures forcing educational institutions and millions of students to move to remote learning. Institutes of higher education in Egypt were forced to react to this problem. In this paper, the efforts of the national ICT committee in Egypt to assess the key lessons learned and the difficulties of remote learning in higher education, are discussed. In coping with the remote learning difficulties and the important role of ICT during the pandemic, we present two case studies, the first belongs to a governmental institution whereas the second belongs to a private higher education one.
