Abstract | This comparative case study describes the experiences of students, faculty, and administrators with distance learning during the pandemic in a Midwestern university in the US and a private university in Pakistan. This comparison illustrates how the pandemic differently impacted higher education in two extreme contexts. Findings of this study revealed a far greater digital divide in Pakistan than in the US. Overall, the study reveals the inequality in opportunities and facilities between developed and developing countries and urges the governments, policy makers, and educators to invest more resources in educational technology for making education more accessible and equitable for everyone.
