ANNOUNCEMENT: HLRC IS LOOKING FOR MANUSCRIPTS RELATED TO THE COVID-19 IMPACT ON HIGHER EDUCATION. Colleges and universities around the world have closed campus classrooms as the coronavirus has spread. In order to adapt to this new situation, higher education institutions have migrated to entirely online classes. But this raises questions: Are institutions prepared to switch all of their classes online? How has the learning process changed for students and the teaching process for professors? What has higher education learned from this experience? The HLRC journal, indexed in Scopus, requests papers, which include editorials, research articles, research briefs, critical literature reviews, and essays, that contribute to a better understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted higher education. We ask for you to submit manuscripts by July 15, 2020, in order to provide timely information. The HLRC publishes upon acceptance. Please see the HLRC Guidelines for Authors at https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/hlrc/styleguide.html for submission information.
