Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has forced significant changes to academic activities, while at the same time highlighting inequalities, opportunities, and challenges to the way scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike respond to the new realities in peri- and post-pandemic times. This chapter explores digital transformations to challenge-based learning by examining three Prepr case studies to consider how digital-enabled interventions can mitigate disruptions to education. These collaborative initiatives provide rich examples of academic developments at the intersection of innovation and knowledge production. We argue that digital capacities and knowledge policies must be developed not only as a temporary stop-gap measure during periods of disruption but should explicitly foster learning pathways to complement and strengthen knowledge acquisition beyond COVID-19.
