Although the COVID-19 primarily threatened global health, it adversely affected diverse aspects of human life. One major spillover effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is the disruption in the status quo of education delivery. The pre-pandemic mode of delivery in Ghana was mostly onsite, where students and teachers have physical interactions in constructed lecture halls. The emergent nature of the COVID-19 crisis caused a paradigm shift in higher education (HE) institutions in Ghana. The lockdown measures and social distancing norms forced universities to adopt online learning. However, the transition from the traditional face-to-face (F2F) instruction to online learning has not been smooth (Aboagye, 2020; Adarkwah, 2020). Over a year after its discovery, many institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa are still struggling to ensure progressive and lifelong education. The paper narrates the plight of tertiary students who experienced the online learning in Ghana and propose innovative ways to continue the online learning in Ghana in this pandemic era where the educational careers of most students are in jeopardy. Statistical report indicates that over 91% of the world’s student population across 188 countries were fatally affected (UNESCO, 2020).
