Technology sees market demand. In the 2010s, education technology addressed problems within education using new technology tools; however, many school systems and universities did not adopt these innovations. COVID-19 generated demand for education technologies as decision-makers within higher education seek to modernize their content delivery and assessment. The menu is vast, with options of low- tech to high-tech. It is likely that accessible and already-implemented platforms will win (YouTube, Zoom, Google Hangouts, Telegram) while a large-scale rollout of high-tech options like virtual reality is unforeseeable in the near future. Collaborative Online International Learning offers a low-tech model for high-impact virtual international connections between faculty and students. Virtual conferences are much cheaper than expensive conferences and may reduce barriers for costly international networking.
