Abstract

Currently due to the onset of Coronavirus, the landscape of post secondary education has changed. Lessons learnt from the novel published many years ago "The Art Of War" by Sun Tze is helping administrators, instructors and students navigate the rapidly changing times. Quotations used in this book are becoming somewhat prophetic in helping all groups in our transformational journey to a digital age of education. By respecting the past and embracing the future, the changes will not have to be seen as barriers but enablers to change.
