This article looks at the projections on the current state of the world’s post-secondary education and a prediction of what will need to be addressed and in place by 2030, in order to prepare for a significant rise in student enrollment. UNESCO presented governments and higher education institutions with a call to action to implement policies and procedures to provide accessible, equitable, and quality education via digital technology. This paper discusses the various actions the University of Miami put in place as a global provider of education and training to all learners including transitioning to micro-credentials, cultural understanding workshops, course design for academic disciplines, and engaging adult online learners.
