Part Two reflects on the online learning experiences of students, as well as the teachers’ strategies to cope with changes as the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed unprecedented disruptions in class. Part Three looks into a range of case studies regarding the digital divide, cross-border schooling, cyberbullying, and cross-disciplinary skill training in the post-pandemic workplace, highlighting the importance of creating a positivelearning environment. Part Four draws on the observations and experiences of frontline teachers, to examine ways to optimize the digital learning experiences of students in and outside the classroom. This volume will be a useful reference for scholars in Education, Communication, Applied Linguistics, Social Work, and Positive Psychology.
