The Pandemic left no country untouched, no people safe and no educational institution was shielded from its effects on the educational ecosystem. On the other side of the coin, it forced the hand of educational institutions to move forward and make the most of the technology available to them. The past two years have seen the most rapid growth in the use of eLearning, be it in the fully online mode or in the hybrid/blended mode. The abruptness of the shift called for an “emergency”  or “rapid” implementation of eLearning and it was a journey filled with trial and error for a vast majority of implementers. As we emerge from an “emergency state” we are faced with the need to create a more stable, resilient and inclusive eLearning environment as we move forward in today’s reality.The experiences of the pandemic has brought about the need to  rapidly shift in the manner of educational delivery and as such has brought new meaning to the traditional definitions of innovation, collaboration, engagement and even inclusivity and diversity. As we continually adapt to circumstances so must our methods of teaching and learning as well as that of student engagement. Aside from this,  our concern for instituting cybersecurity at the different levels of the educational institution has never been so real as it is now with attacks in relation to cybersecurity.
