Next-Generation Innovative Teaching Ecosystems for Futuristic Management Education

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global education, with over 190 countries closing educational institutions, affecting 1.6 billion learners worldwide. This crisis led to a staggering 70% increase in Learning Poverty in low- and middle-income countries, with estimated lifetime earnings loss amounting to $17 trillion. In response, institutions swiftly implemented emergency remote learning (ERT), transitioning to online platforms and leveraging artificial intelligence and adaptive learning tools. This shift, embraced by all stakeholders, facilitated continuity in education amid unprecedented challenges. Moreover, social media platforms emerged as vital tools for promoting learning, fostering engagement, and facilitating global collaboration among students. However, sustainable education requires more than technological dissemination; it necessitates a holistic approach integrating technology, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, social media, and innovative pedagogies. This chapter explores the implications of these advancements in higher education, amid a deglobalized world, emphasizing the need for an integrated and futuristic approach to address contemporary challenges.
