The educational paradigm is constantly evolving; this is largely due to continuous emerging educational tools and technologies. This development has altered the traditional ways of teaching and learning. Present global trends have further increased or forced the adoption of technology in all its ramifications, resulting in a reliance that could have prolonged implications for teaching and learning activities and outcomes. This study discusses the need for enabling teaching and learning environments in the face of swift and continuing technological developments in a post global pandemic era, which has resulted in a contactless world. Metadata and abstracts of reviews on studies were retrieved from science direct database via the search words “enhanced teaching/learning” and “teaching/learning in COVID-19 era”, published between the years 2018-2020 and the years 2020–2021 for teaching and learning in a COVID-19 era. This search led to the retrieval of articles on enhanced teaching and learning activities and subsequently articles related to the COVID-19 era. The findings from this study reveal that strategic planning of teaching and learning processes have to be reevaluated. Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes to the necessity of educational technologies in enhancing the future of education in the face of obvious challenges. Additionally, integrating educational tools implies that teaching and learning can be conducted remotely, hence, the need for stakeholders involvement in the enhancement of infrastructure and sustainable teacher training. 1. INTRODUCTION A teaching and learning environment enhanced by technology is not something new. In-fact, this has been in the literature for quite some time. Several academic institutions in developed countries accepted and implemented technologies in their teaching and learning activities prior to the global COVID-19 pandemic, even though many of these institutions of learning were reluctant to accept this as a necessity at the time. Beginning from the year 2019 and subsequently continuing into the years 2020, 2021 and up till today, the whole world has suffered and is still suffering from the impact of the global pandemic that has ravaged every sector of the world economy. Significant among the sectors most affected is the education sector whereby academic establishments at all levels came to a standstill in the face of a worldwide shut down. The pandemic has had some devastating effects on the academic system. Studies have shown that the pandemic has given rise to is a lack of schooling coupled with clear gender bias in education, resulting in more than two hundred and fifty-eight million children dropping out of school globally in the year 2019 alone. Meanwhile, as the pandemic surged, students were forced out of school especially in war torn countries such as Afghanistan, Nigeria, Cameron and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In such areas, many women were prone to suffer the impact of violence and discri

FAQs
