  • Summary

    Following COVID-19 there has been discussion in the media of a digital revolution as across the world universities have been forced to teach at a distance. However, rather than being something entirely new, the move to technology enhanced learning (TEL) is a trend that has been observed for decades. In this chapter the authors present example projects from the Open University's OpenTEL research group that highlight some of the advances that have been made in terms of lifelong learning, open education, and science education supported by TEL. The chapter ends with discussion on what the digitalisation of higher education could mean post COVID-19. The role of universities is likely to change as society develops different needs and expectations of education. The newly acquired expertise of many higher educational institutes in TEL is likely to create opportunities for entrepreneurial universities, although due consideration must be given to the accessibility-related needs of an increasingly diverse student base.

    Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness / Volume 16 / Issue 6 / December 2022

  • The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted the importance of health literacy. This commentary discusses the consequences of poor health literacy and argues that we need to improve health literacy. Better health literacy has the potential to improve community trust, alleviate health disparities, and improve the results of the immediate response required in the early stages of a pandemic. The commentary argues that health literacy has to be addressed as part of mandatory school curriculum. Methods on how to improve and provide equitable access to education are also discussed.
