pThis Special Issue was developed to provide a platform for lectures in higher education to showcase innovative pedagogical approaches that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic thrust learning and teaching into the online space. These challenges, however, have also stimulated creative solutions. Innovative pedagogical approaches were used to minimize disruptions in the absence of face-to-face contact. Courses were delivered via online and alternative means, even in universities operating with the most traditional mode of delivery. Many Western countries, including Australia, have further developed their courses through existing learning management systems. In some Asian countries, we saw the adoption of diverse online delivery tools, such as Zoom and Tencent Classroom, and other alternative solutions in rural and regional areas that require fewer technological or financial resources. Online learning and teaching have become the new normal, and there has been a continuation of online and blended courses, even post-COVID-19. In a sense, the pandemic has set a milestone in the evolution of higher education. This Special Issue was developed to capture this changing moment. It is hoped that the papers in this Special Issue can be used to inform course developers and higher education institutions in future decision and policy making, and ultimately lead to better student support, experiences, and outcomes in future online and blended courses.p

HOW TO LOSE YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR DIGNITY WITHOUT LEAVING HOMEThis story is written in three parts. It's about a nation that began over a century earlier by farmers and business men looking to make a new start in life free from the tyranny back home. It's about those who risked their lives fighting wars with local tribes to keep their land they paid for. It's about making something work when everything was against them and they not only fought the British but served with them.Now it's 1976 and it's about those who fought for their country to remain free while communist supporters changed the rules of law to suit their goals of total overthrow. It's about how people who are swayed by lies and false truth. About a media that sees only the blood and not the truth. About power and prestige they think they will be able to keep once the fighting stops. But they too will lose all in the end because it's the end of a country and the beginning of a dictatorship that will last decades.This story follows those who came to the aid of this country when it called for help. Mary Reid is a former reporter that got into trouble and moved to Rhodesia in the midst of turmoil thinking she will return home as an international activist. Jeffers is what the British call a war whore and as a former Green Beret who served in Vietnam is a most valuable person to have around. Addy Modal is the son of a Lord and has been fighting insurgents most of his career in the military and civilian arenas. The subject is gun runners and how to stop them. Addy thinks he knows how.

pOn April 12, 1954, the nation was astonished to learn that J. Robert Oppenheimer was facing charges of violating national security. Could the director of the Manhattan Project, the visionary who led the effort to build the atom bomb, really be a traitor In this riveting book, bestselling author Priscilla J. McMillan draws on newly declassified U.S. government documents and materials from Russia, as well as in-depth interviews, to expose for the first time the conspiracy that destroyed one of America's most illustrious scientists.ppMcMillan recreates the fraught years from 1949 to 1955 when Oppenheimer and a group of liberal scientists tried to head off the cabal of hard-line air force officials, anti-Communist politicians, and rival scientists, including physicist Edward Teller, who were trying to seize control of U.S. policy and build ever more deadly nuclear weapons. Retelling the story of Oppenheimer's trial, which took place in utmost secrecy, she describes how the government made up its own rules and violated many protections of the rule of law.
