Creator
Robert Ebo Hinson
Description
Organizations are bound together with a glue which is known as culture.
Higher education institutions such as colleges and universities, just like any
other organizations, have to efectively communicate their culture in terms of
their mission, vision, and purpose in an ever-changing world (Vasudeva &
Mogaji, 2020). During the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions have been confronted with keeping their culture intact and remaining
relevant to the students and the workforce (leadership, instructors, researchers, administrators, and the support staf) while they work from home. Te
pandemic has afected higher education institutions severely as attracting and
enrolling new students has become more difcult in this fnancially unstable
time, as has engaging existing students who do not have the resources to connect virtually (McCarthy, 2020; Moody’s, 2020). Such challenges faced by
higher education institutes are heightened in developing economies as they
have been under the stress of poor infrastructure, governmental support
(Olaleye et al., 2020), and lower literacy rates. Learners are socially disadvantaged with minimal access to technology, thereby impacting their ability to
engage with the online learning environment (Zhong, 2020).
