Abstract
The impact of COVID-19 on higher education and quality assurance (QA) has
already elicited global attention and discussion. QA agencies and networks quickly
learned to adapt in order to carry out assessments, accreditations, recognitions, and
reviews in a full virtual mode. These practices include using shared folders for vir
tual desk review, video conferencing platforms for interviews, and virtual site visits.
In order to respond to the 2020 pandemic, The International Network for Quality
Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) swiftly adopted a virtual
mode of the GGP review exercise for the GGP alignment applicants. The Higher
Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT) was the first
case that underwent a thorough virtual review process of GGP alignment during the
2020 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to outline the impact of the pandemic in
Taiwan higher education as well as provide the meta-analysis of the virtual review
process of the INQAAHE GGP alignment by using HEEACT as a case study.
